《The Undercover Man》歌词

[00:08:28] Here at the glass

[00:08:28] All the usual problems,

[00:08:28] All the habitual farce.

[00:08:28] You ask,

[00:08:28] In uncertain voice,

[00:08:28] What you should do

[00:08:28] As if there were a choice

[00:08:28] But to carry on

[00:08:28] Miming the song

[00:08:28] And hope that it all works out right.

[00:08:28] Tonight

[00:08:28] It all seems so strange

[00:08:28] My spirit feels rigid,

[00:08:28] My body deranged;

[00:08:28] Still that's

[00:08:28] Only from one point of view

[00:08:28] And we can't have illusion

[00:08:28] Between me and you,

[00:08:28] My constant friend,

[00:08:28] Ever close at hand

[00:08:28] You and the undercover man.

[00:08:28] I reflect: 'It's very strange

[00:08:28] To be going through this change

[00:08:28] With no idea of what it's all been about

[00:08:28] Except in the context of time...'

[00:08:28] Oh, but I shirk it,

[00:08:28] I've half a mind not to work it all out.

[00:08:28] Is this madness just the recurring wave of total emotion,

[00:08:28] Or a hide for the undercover man,

[00:08:28] Or a litany, all the signs are there of fervent devotion,

[00:08:28] Or the cracking of the dam?

[00:08:28] It's cracked,

[00:08:28] Smashed and bursting over you,

[00:08:28] There was no reason to expect such disaster.

[00:08:28] Now, panicking, you burst for air,

[00:08:28] Drowning, you know you care

[00:08:28] For nothing and no-one but yourself

[00:08:28] And would deny

[00:08:28] Even this hand which stretches out towards you to help.

[00:08:28] But would I leave you in this moment of your trial?

[00:08:28] Is it my fault that I'm here to see you crying?

[00:08:28] These phantom figures all around you

[00:08:28] Should have told you,

[00:08:28] You should have found out by now,

[00:08:28] If you hadn't gone and tried to do it all by yourself.

[00:08:28] Even now

[00:08:28] We are not lost:

[00:08:28] If you look out at the night

[00:08:28] You'll see the colours and the lights seem to say

[00:08:28] People are not far away, at least in distance,

[00:08:28] And it's only our own dumb resistance

[00:08:28] That's making us stay.

[00:08:28] When the madness comes, let it flood on down and over me sweetly,

[00:08:28] Let it drown the parts of me weak and blessed and damned,

[00:08:28] Let it slake my life, let it take my soul and living completely,

[00:08:28] Let it be who I am.

[00:08:28] There may not be time for us all to run in tandem together

[00:08:28] The horizon calls with it's parallel lines.

[00:08:28] It may not be right for you to have and hold in one way forever

[00:08:28] And yet you still have time,

[00:08:28] You still have time.
