《Black Buttons》歌词

[00:00:11] I watched the dust pile up around you

[00:00:17] And your hands became so small

[00:00:21] It was clear that year you were waiting

[00:00:26] For way more than a call

[00:00:29] You asked for smoke you asked for silence

[00:00:34] You rode 'round sofas stuffed with straw

[00:00:39] While the sun burned through the curtains

[00:00:43] All along that western wall

[00:00:48] That scene became a ritual that fall

[00:00:56] That same sun became a ghost

[00:01:01] And when you see you don't believe

[00:01:06] That anyone has any

[00:01:10] Warmth left up their sleeve

[00:01:14] Even your good blood gets dried up

[00:01:19] It gets swept up with the leaves

[00:01:23] To reveal some old graffiti we can't read

[00:01:31] So put a shine on your black shoes

[00:01:42] Push your black buttons through

[00:01:49] I never knew what you could do to you

[00:01:57] Well honey shine your black shoes

[00:02:27] Oh you had some information

[00:02:31] That you turned into a hymn

[00:02:35] That you sang into the answering

[00:02:40] Machines of all your friends

[00:02:44] But they never got the message

[00:02:49] For their ears are all of tin

[00:02:53] We all write letters we never send

[00:03:02] Well now the cyprus stands around you

[00:03:07] And I hope that you feel safe

[00:03:11] It's a painting from an auction

[00:03:15] At some wasted old estate

[00:03:20] Yeah they're always finding life

[00:03:24] They never knew survived this place

[00:03:29] And I hope the sunlight clears the branches to your face

[00:03:37] 'Cause when the clouds clear

[00:03:41] The freezing winds come down that mountain's face

[00:03:46] But there are streets we haven't walked

[00:03:51] At night you can see this town from space

[00:03:59] So put a shine on your black shoes

[00:04:10] Push your black buttons through

[00:04:17] I never knew what you could do to you

[00:04:25] Oh honey shine your black shoes

[00:04:36] Push your black buttons through

[00:04:44] You never know what you can do for you
