《Zippy Morocco》歌词

[00:00:00] Zippy Morocco - Vic Chesnutt

[00:00:23] Zippy morocco with a hat on his head

[00:00:34] Set sail for the seven seas

[00:00:39] When his mother took to dead

[00:00:45] Barely out of teenagedom

[00:00:50] When his mental map was unfurled

[00:00:56] The next thing that he knew

[00:01:01] He found himself halfway around the world

[00:01:07] With nobody to send exotic postcards to

[00:01:12] With nobody to send exotic postcards to

[00:01:22] Zippy morocco as the admiral of fleet

[00:01:33] Might've been wet behind the ears

[00:01:37] But he certainly was fast on his feet

[00:01:44] Put down a mutiny at the edge of the earth

[00:01:54] He knew the value of the swirling sun

[00:02:00] He never overestimated his own worth

[00:02:04] It was the grief that whetted his appetite

[00:02:10] It was the grief that whetted his appetite

[00:02:18] And the waves they do not tell you welcome

[00:02:23] And the sand on the shore

[00:02:26] Does not spell out a hello

[00:02:30] Salutations they are below the surface

[00:02:34] Listen to zippy morocco he says

[00:02:38] That is what I know

[00:03:02] Zippy morocco as the perfect pragmatist

[00:03:12] Had a hold on the astronomical odds

[00:03:17] And he knew what to risk

[00:03:23] Staked a million on an easterly wind

[00:03:33] Collected the holy city

[00:03:38] Now the horse traders come to him

[00:03:43] With their beads and cheese and horses

[00:03:48] With their beads and cheese and horses
