《Fool’s Gold On Main Street》歌词

[00:00:30] Fool's gold on Main St from stop signs to dangling telephones

[00:00:46] Children delivering newspapers all the grotesque and the hum-drum

[00:01:02] I used not to worry but now it's all I do

[00:01:14] I used to be in a hurry but now I'm dragging both my boots

[00:01:27] Wondering how to get from Main to Meadow

[00:01:53] From fisherman to fish to butcher the struggle is never ending

[00:02:09] You can put your life down on paper but it's not the same as swimming

[00:02:22] I dropped a hint and you were kind enough to retrieve it

[00:02:37] You asked me where the trouble was and you were sweet enough to believe it

[00:02:49] But it was such a sad lie I had to whisper

[00:03:16] What happened to Blake and Eric Douglas Phil and Amanda

[00:03:33] What happened to Jennifer the Great who loved me before anyone

[00:03:45] They're flying into the ground or walking high around my city

[00:04:01] While my head is just some town you wouldn't want to visit

[00:04:11] It's crowded and the people all look ghostly

[00:04:38] Fool's gold on Main St shuffling through orphan trash

[00:04:54] The birds search for the sun at their feet in every crumb of shattered glass

[00:05:10] I slipped on holy blinders as if I could turn my body in

[00:05:20] If I'm guilty when I despair will hope make me innocent again

[00:05:33] Or will it only get me through this winter

[00:06:05] There are neon invitations where shameless billboards babble

[00:06:21] You belong to nothing at all now since your pockets have unraveled

[00:06:32] Your soul is just a drop of the dream we collected with pans in the stream

[00:06:52] The streets of heaven are lined with it and the streets of heaven are clean

[00:08:20] But everything you'll ever touch is dirty
