《Coming Up》歌词

[00:00:00] Our father who art in a penthouse

[00:00:02] Sits in his 37th floor suite

[00:00:05] And swivels to gaze down

[00:00:07] At the city he made me in

[00:00:08] He allows me to stand and

[00:00:09] Sollicit graffiti until

[00:00:10] He needs the land I stand on

[00:00:10] I in my darkened threshold

[00:00:11] Am pawing through my pockets

[00:00:12] The receipts the bus schedules

[00:00:15] The matchbook phone numbers

[00:00:17] The urgent napkin poems

[00:00:18] All of which laundering has rendered

[00:00:20] Pulpy and strange

[00:00:22] Loose change and a key

[00:00:24] Ask me

[00:00:24] Go ahead ask me if I care

[00:00:27] I got the answer here

[00:00:28] I wrote it down somewhere

[00:00:29] I just gotta find it

[00:00:31] I just gotta find it

[00:00:34] Somebody and their spraypaint got too close

[00:00:36] Somebody came on too heavy

[00:00:38] Now look at me made ugly

[00:00:39] By the drooling letters

[00:00:41] I was better off alone

[00:00:42] Ain't that the way it is

[00:00:43] They don't know the first thing

[00:00:45] But you don't know that

[00:00:45] Until they take the first swing

[00:00:47] My fingers are red and swollen from the cold

[00:00:49] I'm getting bold in my old age

[00:00:50] So go ahead try the door

[00:00:52] It doesn't matter anymore

[00:00:54] I know the weakhearted are strongwilled

[00:00:56] And we are being kept alive

[00:00:57] Until we're killed

[00:00:58] He's up there the ice

[00:01:00] Is clinking in his glass

[00:01:03] I don't ask

[00:01:04] I just empty my pockets and wait

[00:01:08] It's not fate

[00:01:09] It's just circumstance

[00:01:11] I don't fool myself with romance

[00:01:12] I just live

[00:01:13] Phone number to phone number

[00:01:15] Dusting them against my thighs

[00:01:16] In the warmth of my pockets

[00:01:18] Which whisper history incessantly

[00:01:20] Asking me

[00:01:21] Where were you

[00:01:22] I lower my eyes

[00:01:24] Wishing I could cry more

[00:01:25] And care less

[00:01:27] Yes it's true

[00:01:29] I was trying to love someone again

[00:01:30] I was caught caring

[00:01:32] Bearing weight

[00:01:33] But I love this city this state

[00:01:36] This country is too large

[00:01:37] And whoever's in charge up there

[00:01:39] Had better take the elevator down

[00:01:41] And put more than change in our cup

[00:01:43] Or else we

[00:01:44] Are coming

[00:01:45] Up
