《Tried To Be A Man》歌词

[00:00:00] Tried To Be A Man - Rickie Lee Jones

[00:00:08] Well you we don't need no one

[00:00:11] Trying to set us straight

[00:00:13] I got a red neck in plaid suit

[00:00:16] And he's on tv real late

[00:00:19] Balalaikas tolling Sheba plays the flute

[00:00:23] There's communist and capitalists

[00:00:25] They all think I'm cute

[00:00:28] You know I'm out of rehab

[00:00:30] You know I'm with the band

[00:00:32] Anyway I think it's time to say

[00:00:34] Exactly what I am

[00:00:37] 'Cause I tried to be a man

[00:00:41] But that's what I'm not meant to be

[00:00:45] You know I'm

[00:00:46] Tried to be a man

[00:00:49] That's not what I came to be

[00:00:59] Well there's seven years of famine

[00:01:01] And seven years of drought

[00:01:04] Seven years of Sam

[00:01:05] You know what I'm talking about

[00:01:08] And it won't take very long before it's hard to tell

[00:01:13] If they're trying to take you back with him

[00:01:15] To heaven or to hell

[00:01:18] They make her so pretty

[00:01:20] She won't be pretty long

[00:01:22] She'll be rising out of the sea of planet Babylon

[00:01:26] 'Cause she tried to be a man

[00:01:30] That's not what she came to be

[00:01:35] Oh she tried to be a man

[00:01:39] That's not what she came to be

[00:02:17] She's living down on Bronson

[00:02:19] She never blinks her eyes

[00:02:21] The family in Wisconsin

[00:02:24] Look like they're hypnotized

[00:02:26] I get a strange sensation

[00:02:28] When I lay down in my bed

[00:02:31] In fact if you could drop me on the corner

[00:02:33] Here instead on planet Babylon

[00:02:37] That's where they wrote the book

[00:02:40] There's something here about you

[00:02:42] Come on and take a look

[00:02:45] You tried to be a man

[00:02:47] But that's not what you came to be

[00:02:51] It says it says it says it says

[00:02:53] You tried to be a man

[00:02:56] But that's not what you came to be

[00:03:02] Came to be

[00:03:06] What you came to be

[00:03:09] That's not what you came to be
