《Plastic Palace People》歌词

[00:00:01] Plastic Palace People - Scott Walker

[00:00:10] Over the rooftop sails billy

[00:00:17] A string tied to his underwear

[00:00:24] Through cobbled stone streets a child races

[00:00:31] And shouts billy come down from there

[00:00:39] My mother's calling his voice whimpers

[00:00:46] A string clutched in his tiny hand

[00:00:54] Not till i've seen the sky's not lit up

[00:01:01] In tears child try and understand

[00:01:08] Don't pull the string don't bring me down

[00:01:16] Don't make me land

[00:01:33] Plastic palace people

[00:01:38] Sing silent songs they dream too long

[00:01:44] Their memories just stare

[00:01:49] Plastic palace alice

[00:01:54] She steals her cards tomorrow deals

[00:01:59] With deafening despair

[00:02:06] Hurry you've got to get in line

[00:02:13] Your nose might start to shine

[00:02:17] And sweat it out and dance about

[00:02:22] The whole eternal life

[00:02:40] A harvest of stars surrounds billy

[00:02:48] The night clings to his happy eyes

[00:02:55] A sleeping town square beneath a fountain

[00:03:02] A child murmurs a weary sigh

[00:03:09] My mother weeps and weaves her hair

[00:03:17] With worries please come down from there

[00:03:41] Plastic palace people

[00:03:47] Through fields of clay and granite grey

[00:03:52] They play without a sound

[00:03:57] Plastic palace alice

[00:04:02] Blows gaping holes to store her fears

[00:04:08] Inside her lovers head

[00:04:14] Listen they're laughing in the halls

[00:04:21] They rip your face with lies

[00:04:26] To buzzing eyes you cry for help

[00:04:30] Like gods they bark replies

[00:04:49] Over the rooftops burns billy

[00:04:55] Balloon sadly the string descends

[00:05:03] Searching its way down through blue submarine air

[00:05:12] The polka dot underwear

[00:05:18] To meet the trees in morning square

[00:05:25] Just hanging there just hanging there
