《Puppet Song》歌词

[00:00:00] Puppet Song LP Version - The Incredible String Band

[00:00:00] Now you may have observed if you walk into a wall

[00:00:04] You get a certain sensation of reality

[00:00:08] When you take a look through your memory book

[00:00:12] You may perceive a certain rhythmic regularity

[00:00:16] The crazy things your mind gets up to when you're away

[00:00:24] Throwing clouds of rain over brightest day

[00:00:34] There was once a little man

[00:00:37] He worked all day and slept all night

[00:00:42] He looked at the sun

[00:00:44] It didn't seem bright it didn't seen right

[00:00:56] He wondered did the world go rolling along on its own

[00:01:04] Or did some spirit move it with a black cat bone

[00:01:11] And he set out to find the causes behind

[00:01:15] The events in the world

[00:01:17] And the seasons of the mind

[00:01:22] So he asked his wife about it and his wife said yes

[00:01:25] Come back and see me if it's time to know less

[00:01:29] You do too much aquestioning of the world at large

[00:01:33] Everybody knows the politician's in charge

[00:01:37] So he went to the Kinghouse just the next day

[00:01:40] To see that politician with his hair dyed grey

[00:01:44] Jump down turn around blow you up or kiss the ground

[00:01:48] Trying to be the president of the land so gay

[00:01:54] He had false pretendies I had to love his style

[00:01:57] Bound to make some havoc with that violin smile

[00:02:01] Hey Salvador Dali make a walking talking something

[00:02:07] You paint some freaky pictures make a likeness of that man

[00:02:11] Muchos dollars if you can

[00:02:21] So the little man asked the politician who makes the plan

[00:02:29] Who makes the plan what happens to me

[00:02:34] And who has the key

[00:02:43] Now you are asking me who makes the scene

[00:02:47] His highness King Gold and Madam Silver his queen

[00:02:51] They keep it all arustling with the dollars and pounds

[00:02:54] And everyone knows that money makes the world go round

[00:02:58] So the little man asked King Gold and Madam Silver

[00:03:04] Come tell me what you can

[00:03:07] And King Gold said lifting his golden voice from his golden bed

[00:03:20] Now money is something it's a basic flow

[00:03:24] And me I am the archetype of jewels and dough

[00:03:28] I do a lot of talking both slow and fast

[00:03:32] But me make decisions no of course it's the past

[00:03:35] For the past is something we all have some

[00:03:39] And universal history is a bundle of fun

[00:03:43] Now I'm getting sleepy starting to nod

[00:03:47] If you want to check the picture want to check the picture

[00:03:51] Want to check it check it with God

[00:03:57] So the little man climbed up on a rickety ladder to the heavenly lands

[00:04:05] And he shed a tear 'it's all so queer and it doesn't seem clear'

[00:04:18] Now God was sitting easy in a heavenly chair

[00:04:22] Breathing deep and lazy on the heavenly air

[00:04:26] The little man got near him just to get right from wrong

[00:04:29] Said 'God are you responsible for all that goes on'

[00:04:33] God looked up from having a heavenly think

[00:04:37] He gave that little questioner a heavenly wink saying

[00:04:41] 'Men have coloured me with the colours of their minds

[00:04:46] So I find

[00:04:49] They used me as an excuse for all kinds of goofs

[00:04:53] And for crimes of all kinds

[00:04:56] All your so hard facts painted thinly on the void

[00:05:04] Why were you not more pleasantly employed

[00:05:11] Anything you want to do I'm happy if you make it go right

[00:05:17] And it's true if it makes you happy you know it makes the

[00:05:21] World more bright

[00:05:24] And you shall have liberty

[00:05:32] It always was yours anyway

[00:05:39] You're one of my kind you're an infinite mind

[00:05:48] You make each new day

[00:05:56] There's nothing more I can say'
