《Poor Fractured Atlas》歌词

[00:00:00] Poor Fractured Atlas - Elvis Costello/Attractions

[00:00:03] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:11] He's out in the woods with his squirrel gun

[00:00:16] To try to recapture his anger

[00:00:21] He's screaming some words at the top of his lungs

[00:00:26] Until he begins to feel younger

[00:00:32] But back at his desk in the city we find

[00:00:37] Our trembling punch drunken fighter

[00:00:42] Who can't find the strength now to punish the length

[00:00:48] Of the ribbon in his little type writer

[00:00:55] Poor fractured atlas

[00:01:00] Threw himself across the mattress

[00:01:06] Waving his withering pencil

[00:01:11] As if it were a pirate's cutlass

[00:01:17] I'm almost certain he's trying to increase his burden

[00:01:27] He said that's how the child in me planned it

[00:01:33] A woman wouldn't understand it

[00:01:48] I believe there was something that I wanted to say

[00:01:53] Before I conclude this epistle

[00:01:58] But you would forgive me for holding my tongue

[00:02:04] 'Cause man made the blade and the pistol

[00:02:09] Yes man made the waterfall over the dam

[00:02:14] To temper his tantrum with magic

[00:02:20] Now you can't be sure of that tent of azure

[00:02:24] Since he punched a hole in the fabric

[00:02:32] Poor fractured atlas

[00:02:37] Threw himself across the mattress

[00:02:43] Waving his withering pencil

[00:02:48] As if it were a pirate's cutlass

[00:02:54] I'm almost certain

[00:02:59] He's trying to increase his burden

[00:03:04] He said that's how the child in me planned it

[00:03:10] A woman wouldn't understand it

[00:03:21] A woman wouldn't understand it

[00:03:31] A woman wouldn't understand it
