《The Courtesy Of Kings》歌词

[00:00:00] The Courtesy Of Kings - John Mellencamp

[00:00:09] I knew this colorful woman once

[00:00:13] She drank and had a roving eye

[00:00:17] In the morning she was always mournful

[00:00:21] She'd cry and apologize

[00:00:25] But she'd always repeat herself

[00:00:28] Find comfort with a stranger and sing

[00:00:33] She never took much notice

[00:00:37] In the courtesy of kings

[00:00:50] She had pictures of Cuban artists

[00:00:54] And paintings from Rotterdam

[00:00:59] Promises that she made

[00:01:01] She never could stay true to them

[00:01:06] She said she loved me so deeply

[00:01:09] Then she'd spit in my face and scream

[00:01:15] And she never took much notice

[00:01:18] In the courtesy of kings

[00:01:31] She had the face of an angel

[00:01:35] And a smile no one could deny

[00:01:39] But the heart of a devil

[00:01:43] Beat deep down in her inside

[00:01:47] She spoke of judgment and forgiveness

[00:01:50] Her other lovers didn't mean a thing

[00:01:56] She never took much notice

[00:02:00] In the courtesy of kings

[00:02:36] We parted in the middle of nowhere

[00:02:39] I haven't seen her since then

[00:02:43] She always kept my mind busy

[00:02:47] She made her lies sing like a hymn

[00:02:51] Sometimes I wonder if I'd see her

[00:02:55] If I would still recognize

[00:03:00] Or just remember her as a dream

[00:03:05] And respect her for the love she used to bring

[00:03:11] And if I could show her

[00:03:15] The courtesy of kings
