《Nation of Heat》歌词

[00:00:32] Across from the prison and beside the great lake

[00:00:39] Below the rooftops and above the highway

[00:00:45] The spirits pay rent on the basements they haunt

[00:00:52] And the pages just draw pictures of the things that they want

[00:01:00] I cook my dinner on the black top street

[00:01:05] I come from the nation of heat

[00:01:11] Outside the train station there's a bold painted sign

[00:01:17] It says try to be patient

[00:01:20] Don't forget to choose sides

[00:01:24] We got the loudest explosions you've ever heard

[00:01:31] We've got two dollar soldiers and ten dollar words

[00:01:38] If I didn't own boots I wouldn't need feet

[00:01:44] I come from the nation of heat

[00:01:50] So swift and so vicious are the carnival rides

[00:01:57] And the carnival barker will yell your name for a bribe

[00:02:04] We got billboards for love and japanese cars

[00:02:11] It ain't rare to hear the street lights call themselves stars

[00:02:19] The more that I learn the more that I cheat

[00:02:23] I come from the nation of heat

[00:02:55] I've seen skeleton mothers and hungry folks

[00:03:02] Across the street from the kitchens that cook dinner the most

[00:03:09] Sometimes you hear whispers by the dark of the moon

[00:03:16] That we promised too much and gave it too soon

[00:03:24] Even our coughs and our fevers compete

[00:03:28] I come from the nation of heat

[00:03:33] Blocking borders with smiles are immigrant sons

[00:03:40] We measure loneliness in miles and misery in tons

[00:03:47] There's a straw hatted man rowing away from the shore

[00:03:54] Who says it's a shame they don't let you have slaves here anymore

[00:04:02] I'm the ugliest man that you'll ever meet

[00:04:06] I come from the nation of heat
