《WAKE Me Up》歌词

[00:00:01] WAKE Me Up - Elvis Costello & The Roots

[00:00:12] I've got this phosphorescent portrait

[00:00:14] Of gentle Jesus meek and mild

[00:00:17] I've got this harlot

[00:00:19] That I'm stuck

[00:00:20] With carrying another man's child

[00:00:23] The solitary star announcing vacancy burnt out

[00:00:26] As we arrived

[00:00:28] They'd throw us back across the border

[00:00:31] If they knew that we survived

[00:00:33] And they were surprised to see us

[00:00:40] So they greeted us with palms

[00:00:46] They asked for ammunition

[00:00:50] Acts of contrition and small alms

[00:00:57] Wake me up wake me up

[00:00:58] Wake me up wake me up

[00:01:00] Wake me up

[00:01:02] With a slap or a kiss

[00:01:08] Wake me up wake me up

[00:01:09] Wake me up wake me up

[00:01:11] Wake me up

[00:01:13] There must be something better than this

[00:01:19] I've got this imaginary radio

[00:01:22] And I'm punching up the dial

[00:01:25] I've got the A C trained on the T V

[00:01:27] So it won't blow up in my eye

[00:01:31] And everything

[00:01:32] That I thought fanciful or mocked

[00:01:34] As too extreme

[00:01:36] Must be family entertainment here

[00:01:39] In the strange land of my dreams

[00:01:42] And I'm practicing

[00:01:43] My likeness of St

[00:01:48] Francis of Assisi

[00:01:53] And if I hold my hand outstretched

[00:01:59] A little bird comes to me

[00:02:04] And I might recite a small prayer

[00:02:08] If I ever said them

[00:02:10] I lay down on an iron frame

[00:02:14] And found myself in Bedlam

[00:02:16] Stepping on the fingers

[00:02:19] That were stretching through the bars

[00:02:22] Wailing echoes down the corridors

[00:02:28] Wake me up wake me up

[00:02:29] Wake me up wake me up

[00:02:30] Wake me up

[00:02:33] With a slap or a kiss

[00:02:38] Wake me up wake me up

[00:02:40] Wake me up wake me up

[00:02:41] Wake me up

[00:02:43] There must be something better than this

[00:03:01] They've got this scared

[00:03:03] And decorated girl strapped to the steel

[00:03:04] Trunk of a Mustang

[00:03:07] They drove her down a cypress grove

[00:03:09] Where traitors hang and stars still spangle

[00:03:12] They dangled flags

[00:03:13] And other rags along a colored thread of twine

[00:03:18] They dragged that bruised and purple heart

[00:03:21] Along the road to Palestine

[00:03:24] Someone went off muttering

[00:03:29] He mentioned thirty pieces

[00:03:35] Easter saw a slaughtering

[00:03:40] Each wrapped in bloodstained fleeces

[00:03:46] My thoughts returned to vengeance

[00:03:52] But I put up no resistance

[00:03:57] Though I seemed a long way from my home

[00:04:03] It really was no distance

[00:04:09] Wake me up wake me up

[00:04:11] Wake me up wake me up

[00:04:12] Wake me up

[00:04:14] With a slap or a kiss

[00:04:20] Wake me up wake me up

[00:04:21] Wake me up wake me up

[00:04:22] Wake me up

[00:04:25] There must be something better than this

[00:04:43] And the player piano

[00:04:44] Picks out "Life Goes On"

[00:04:48] The Ringtone rang out "Jerusalem"

[00:04:54] Into the pit of sadness

[00:04:57] Where the wretched plunge

[00:04:59] We've buried all the Innocents

[00:05:02] We must bury revenge

[00:05:05] We must bury revenge

[00:05:08] We must bury revenge

[00:05:11] Wake me up wake me up

[00:05:13] Wake me up wake me up

[00:05:14] Wake me up

[00:05:16] There must be something

[00:05:19] Better than this

[00:05:21] There must be something

[00:05:24] Better than this

[00:05:27] There must be something

[00:05:30] Better than this

[00:05:33] There must be something

[00:05:36] Better than this
