《Serpentine》歌词

[00:00:00] Serpentine - Jimmy Buffett

[00:00:39] Maybe it's just age or a thousand other fears

[00:00:46] That took me back tonight to my early carnival years

[00:00:54] I can see the parade a-movin'

[00:00:58] Like the source of the old gulf stream

[00:01:03] Oh what a lovely dream

[00:01:12] Adolescent lust was begging for a start

[00:01:19] As I side-stepped those Brothers with their sacred hearts

[00:01:27] Yet for those two weeks a year it was all about sin

[00:01:36] Folly's chasin' death you can count me in

[00:01:44] There's a flambeaux man with a gold earring

[00:01:48] And the cold north wind smells like kerosene

[00:01:53] Here comes the float of the Carnival Queen

[00:01:59] I want to wrap her in serpentine

[00:02:17] Hands up high eyes open wide

[00:02:21] "Throw me something mister"

[00:02:23] That's why you ride

[00:02:26] Cracker Jacks with toys inside

[00:02:34] Real beyond our wildest dreams

[00:02:38] Floats and masks and a two mule team

[00:02:42] Some things really are

[00:02:45] The way they seem

[00:02:59] Beads and confetti were littering the air

[00:03:07] When the Queen looked at me with her Ava Gardner stare

[00:03:15] Though tomorrow would bring ashes and penance by the ton

[00:03:24] Mardi Gras's where I learned to have fun

[00:03:31] There's a flambeaux man with a gold earring

[00:03:36] And the cold north wind smells like kerosene

[00:03:40] I'm still in love with the Carnival Queen

[00:03:47] I want to wrap her in serpentine

[00:03:55] Still want to wrap her in serpentine

[00:04:17] It was the devil
