《Gates of Eden》歌词

[00:00:09] Of war and peace the truth just twists

[00:00:14] Its curfew gull just glides

[00:00:21] Upon four legged forest clouds

[00:00:26] The cowboy angel rides

[00:00:33] With his candle lit into the sun

[00:00:38] Though its glow is waxed in black

[00:00:45] All except when neath the trees of Eden

[00:00:55] The lamppost stands with folded arms

[00:00:59] Its iron claws attached

[00:01:07] To curbs neath holes where babies wail

[00:01:12] Though it shadows metal badge

[00:01:19] All and all can only fall

[00:01:24] With a crashing but meaningless blow

[00:01:31] No sound ever comes from the gates of Eden

[00:01:41] The savage soldiers sticks his head in sand

[00:01:47] And then complains

[00:01:53] Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf

[00:01:59] But still remains

[00:02:05] Upon the beach where hound dogs bay

[00:02:10] At ships with tatooed sails

[00:02:18] Heading for the gates of Eden

[00:02:27] With a time rusted compass blade

[00:02:32] Alladin and his lamp

[00:02:39] Sits with Utopian hermit monks

[00:02:44] Side saddle on the golden calf

[00:02:51] And on their promises of paradise

[00:02:56] You will not hear a laugh

[00:03:04] All except inside the gates of Eden

[00:03:13] Relationships of ownership

[00:03:18] They whisper in the wings

[00:03:25] To those condemned to act accordingly

[00:03:30] And wait for succeeding kings

[00:03:37] And I will try to harmonize with songs

[00:03:42] The lonesome sparrow sings

[00:03:49] There are no kings inside the gates of Eden

[00:03:59] The motorcycle black madonna

[00:04:03] The two wheeled gypsy queen

[00:04:11] And her silver studded phantom cause

[00:04:15] The gray flannel dwarf to scream

[00:04:23] As he weeps to wicked birds of prey

[00:04:27] Who pick up on his bread crumb sins

[00:04:35] And there are no sins inside the gates of Eden

[00:04:45] The kingdoms of experience

[00:04:49] In the precious wind they rot

[00:04:56] While paupers change

[00:04:59] Possessions each one wishing for what the other has got

[00:05:08] And the princess and the prince

[00:05:12] Discuss what's real and what is not

[00:05:20] It doesn't matter inside the gates of Eden

[00:05:30] The foreign sun it squints upon

[00:05:35] A bed that is never mine

[00:05:42] As friends and other strangers

[00:05:46] From their fates try to resign

[00:05:54] Leaving men wholly totally free

[00:05:58] To do anything they wish to do but die

[00:06:05] And there are no trials inside the gates of Eden

[00:06:15] At dawn my lover comes to me

[00:06:20] And tells me of her dreams

[00:06:27] With no attempts to shovel the glimpse

[00:06:31] Into the ditch of what each one means

[00:06:39] At times I think there are no words

[00:06:43] But these to tell what's true

[00:06:51] And there are no truths outside the gates of Eden
