《Phoenix》歌词

[00:00:00] Phoenix (凤凰) - Slaughter Beach, Dog/Dog

[00:00:17] From the corner of 3 rd and Washington

[00:00:20] You can't see where your brother went

[00:00:24] Out somewhere past the beat cops

[00:00:27] And beautiful women who work for the government

[00:00:30] They walk by in air conditioned tunnels

[00:00:33] That are a cut above the street

[00:00:36] While I sweat in my hot coffee

[00:00:40] And daydream about how we might meet

[00:00:58] Your mother asked for a picture

[00:01:01] She says today's your birthday

[00:01:04] In some strung out western stutter

[00:01:07] Making all the world her ashtray

[00:01:11] She adjusts her aviators

[00:01:14] With an absent shaking hand

[00:01:17] Tilts the camera forward forty five degrees

[00:01:22] And calls out modeling commands

[00:01:38] When we used to go to parties

[00:01:41] You'd spend an hour before the mirror

[00:01:44] And I'd drink your gin

[00:01:47] And ask about your high school souvenirs

[00:01:51] Tacked on the wall above the bed

[00:01:55] An old ink jet collage

[00:01:58] But you were never much for talking

[00:02:03] So I knelt to your garage

[00:02:18] We'd walk the three blocks westbound

[00:02:21] In the moonlit Philly fall

[00:02:25] And the party would be grand

[00:02:28] All our friends would grin with pride

[00:02:31] All our friends would be so drunk

[00:02:34] And have such pleasant things to say

[00:02:38] And at last we'd see each other

[00:02:41] In the way that we had dreamed to be seen

[00:03:23] Those nights your house kept secret

[00:03:26] We'd stumble up the stairs

[00:03:29] My hands tore through your records

[00:03:33] While your hands unpinned your hair

[00:03:36] The both of us still green enough

[00:03:40] To remove the others clothes

[00:03:43] A quiet signal of devotion

[00:03:46] That I am happy to have known
