《The Splendid World》歌词

[00:00:00] The Splendid World - Frontier Ruckus

[00:00:12] This year's robin's breast is not as red

[00:00:15] The entire nest is underfed

[00:00:19] Every bed I've made has broken down

[00:00:26] The AA meeting is letting out

[00:00:29] From the parking lot where my mother let me try out

[00:00:32] Driving my grandfather's car when I was just fourteen

[00:00:39] If the splendid world wants to end and rid us

[00:00:42] I wish it'd just get on with it and forbid us

[00:00:46] I can't keep track of what I own

[00:00:52] My brightest day was poisonous but agile

[00:00:55] And then you decay in a way so fragile

[00:00:59] In the sticky shade with an ice cream cone

[00:01:19] Whatever happened to the little sailboat

[00:01:22] We kept behind the shed but only once made float?

[00:01:25] I used to climb upon it onto the roof

[00:01:32] And now the earwigs climb the trashcan

[00:01:36] I figure I'll become a sort of watery man

[00:01:39] Pissing in my night backyard

[00:01:41] Distributing the proof

[00:01:46] You can keep a record of all your meals

[00:01:49] And the way that each day feels

[00:01:52] Safe and well-preserved in some hidden cavity

[00:01:59] But all your private and precious locales

[00:02:03] All your hidden heavens and all your pals

[00:02:06] Are gonna succumb to the brutal gravity

[00:02:11] Baby I know

[00:02:26] The splendid world is immune to flattery

[00:02:29] It burst me on the sidewalk like a run-over battery

[00:02:33] All my metallic innards come pooling out

[00:02:40] To try to name this is to be less famous

[00:02:43] If I were dumber and detestable I'd be more successful

[00:02:46] But on the sharp scorched grass there's nothing else to sing about
