《Mistress of the Salmon Salt (Quicklime Girl) (Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Mistress of the Salmon Salt (Quicklime Girl) (Album Version) - Blue Oyster Cult (Blue Öyster Cult)

[00:00:05] In the garden district

[00:00:24] Where the plants grow strong and tall

[00:00:28] Behind the bush there lurks a girl

[00:00:32] Who makes them strong and tall

[00:00:35] The villagers call her

[00:00:39] Quicklime girl behind her back

[00:00:42] Quicklime girl behind the bush

[00:00:46] Quicklime girl

[00:00:48] She's the mistress of the salmon salt

[00:00:53] Quicklime girl

[00:00:55] Quicklime girl

[00:00:56] Quicklime girl

[00:00:58] In the fall when plants return

[00:01:06] By harvest time she knows the score

[00:01:10] Ripe and ready to the eye

[00:01:13] Yet rotten somehow to the core

[00:01:17] And they call her

[00:01:20] Quicklime girl behind her back

[00:01:23] Quicklime girl behind the bush

[00:01:27] Quicklime girl

[00:01:29] She's the mistress of the salmon salt

[00:01:34] Quicklime girl

[00:01:35] Quicklime girl

[00:01:37] Quicklime girl

[00:01:39] A harvest of life a harvest of death

[00:01:47] One body of life one body of death

[00:01:51] And when you've gone and choked to death

[00:01:55] With laughter and a little step

[00:01:58] I'll prepare the quicklime friend

[00:02:02] For your ripe and ready grave

[00:02:05] For your ripe and ready grave

[00:02:08] It's springtime now and cares subside

[00:03:01] And the plannings almost done

[00:03:03] And fertile graves it seems exist

[00:03:08] Within a mile of that juke joint

[00:03:11] Where Coast Guard crews still take their leave

[00:03:15] Quite listless in the sun

[00:03:18] And the Quicklime girl still plies her trade

[00:03:23] Reduction of the many from the one

[00:03:26] And they call her

[00:03:29] Quicklime girl behind her back

[00:03:33] Quicklime girl behind the bush

[00:03:36] Quicklime girl

[00:03:38] Well she's the mistress of the salmon salt

[00:03:43] Quicklime girl

[00:03:45] Quicklime girl they call her

[00:03:48] Quicklime girl

[00:03:49] A harvest of life a harvest of death

[00:03:56] Resumes its course each day

[00:03:59] It comes as if by schedule

[00:04:03] A harvest of limbs of arms and of legs

[00:04:08] The toes that crawl

[00:04:09] The knees that jerk

[00:04:11] The necks like swans that seem to turn

[00:04:14] As if inclined to gasp or pray
