《The Mercy Beat》歌词

[00:00:06] The Mercy Beat-the the
[00:00:40] There's a high wind blowin & the stars are shining bright
[00:00:46] Oh what a night this is gonna be--
[00:00:49] I think I'll let the world sleep without me
[00:00:53] I got one eye open one eye closed
[00:00:56] & my thin body's trembling beneath the bedclothes
[00:00:59] My hearts beatin' against the roof of my mouth
[00:01:03] --It's almost time to get out of this house
[00:01:12] I got one hand on the radio one hand on the wheel
[00:01:17] I got my right foot on the floorboard --
[00:01:22] & I'm preparing to kill or be killed
[00:01:25] There's a high wind blowin' & the stars are shining bright
[00:01:30] & the rain upon the tarmac
[00:01:34] --helps me sail through the traffic lights
[00:01:37] I'm heading down to the dock of the bay
[00:01:40] --to feel the power of the waves
[00:01:42] I'm gonna move up close to that wind
[00:01:47] & wrestle with the thoughts solitude always brings
[00:02:03] Y'see I'm stuck between hell & the deep blue sea
[00:02:06] & I know that water's sucked under better man than me
[00:02:08] I was just another western guy
[00:02:12] --with desires that couldn't be satisfied
[00:02:15] So one day I asked the angels for inspiration
[00:02:19] --but the devil bought me a drink
[00:02:25] & he's been buying them ever since
[00:02:27] He's had the liquor on my tongue
[00:02:44] --feel like the sea upon the sand
[00:02:47] He's had me signing confessions
[00:02:49] --from this shaking hand
[00:02:53] He's had me struggling to hang onto hope--
[00:02:56] Like a drunken sailor in a tugboat
[00:03:00] With a bottle of vodka in my overcoat
[00:03:03] & my dog eared bible lost--overboard
[00:03:05] Y'see he tricked me into temptation
[00:03:22] So I've tricked him into this confrontation
[00:03:24] I never said I was the man I appeared to be
[00:03:28] Not the flesh wrapped around the bones of necessity
[00:03:32] Or the soul on fire--scribbling thoughts for posterity
[00:03:38] I'm gonna have little lucifer runnin' off to purgatory
[00:03:42] --with his tail between his legs
[00:03:44] I'm gonna teach him a lesson
[00:03:47] --he ain't ever gonna forget
[00:03:51] All the vultures & crows are fixin up some tombstones
[00:03:54] But they won't be chewing the meat off my bones
[00:03:57] There's a high wind blowin' & the stars are shining bright
[00:04:02] Me & him are gonna have a little knife fight
[00:04:06] --in the bowels of the big city skyline
[00:04:10] Oh this feelin' inside runs dark & deep
[00:04:13] --Tonight my hearts not thumping
[00:04:16] --A Mercy Beat
[00:04:17] I was just another western guy
[00:04:44] With desires that couldn't be--satisfied
