《The Thousandth And Tenth Day Of The Human Totem Pole(2006 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Thousandth And Tenth Day

[00:00:01] Of The Human Totem Po - Captain Beefheart

[00:00:31] The thousandth and tenth day

[00:00:33] Of the human totem pole

[00:00:41] The morning was distemper grey

[00:00:44] Of the thousandth and tenth day

[00:00:46] Of the human totem pole

[00:00:49] The man at the bottom was smiling

[00:00:54] He had just finished his breakfast smiling

[00:01:00] It hadn't rained or manured

[00:01:02] For over two hours

[00:01:04] The man at the top was starving

[00:01:07] The pole was a horrible looking thing

[00:01:10] With all of those eyes and ears

[00:01:13] And waving hands for balance

[00:01:16] There was no way

[00:01:17] To get a copter in close

[00:01:20] So everybody was starving together

[00:01:22] The man at the top

[00:01:24] Had long ago given up

[00:01:26] But didn't have nerve enough

[00:01:28] To climb down

[00:01:30] At night the pole would talk to itself

[00:01:33] And the chatter wasn't too good

[00:01:37] Obviously the pole didn't like itself

[00:01:40] it wanted to walk

[00:01:44] It was the summer and it was hot

[00:01:47] And balance wouldn't permit skinning

[00:01:49] To undergarments

[00:01:51] It was an integrated pole

[00:01:53] It was taking on an reddish brown cast

[00:01:57] Exercise on the pole was isometric

[00:02:01] Kind of a flex and then balance

[00:02:04] Then the highest would roll together

[00:02:06] The ears wiggle hands balance

[00:02:12] There was a gurgling and googling heard

[00:02:15] A tenth of the way up the pole

[00:02:18] Approaching was a small child

[00:02:21] With Statue of Liberty doll
