《On The Flip Of A Coin》歌词

[00:00:01] On The Flip Of A Coin - The Streets

[00:00:11] From the point he gazedf

[00:00:12] From the choice was made

[00:00:14] But 'walk the cave or the shore'

[00:00:16] The oily cave seemed to breathe

[00:00:17] On him through gravestone jaws

[00:00:20] His little hand grasped in

[00:00:21] Anguish as he weighed up his coin

[00:00:24] Somewhere a blue eyed girl in the

[00:00:26] World is just waiting for a boy

[00:00:29] Footprints trailed as if trod by

[00:00:30] Slaves up to the grey cave floor

[00:00:33] But not one graze from

[00:00:34] Anything ever escaping this fort

[00:00:37] So with coin on hand his joy came back

[00:00:40] When ordered to take the shore

[00:00:42] Why on earth' as he wandered the warmth 'am

[00:00:44] I obeying this coin'

[00:00:46] Turn your life on the flip of this coin

[00:00:50] Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid

[00:00:55] And promise me you'll follow what it says

[00:00:59] Whatever it says

[00:01:04] Again walk within the trusted

[00:01:05] Beach or swim the swell of the sea

[00:01:08] And again the scarier alternative

[00:01:10] Looked like certain death to he

[00:01:13] He'd never learnt to skill of swimming

[00:01:15] It never occurred to be very easy

[00:01:17] And again he winced as he flipped

[00:01:19] The coin and it twirled to his feet

[00:01:22] How is this sane' he blamed

[00:01:23] The coin now aiming for the waves

[00:01:26] As he hesitated at the swirl of

[00:01:28] Water as it raged and rained

[00:01:30] Blue eyed girls were waiting

[00:01:32] And he was drowning in the spray

[00:01:35] Blue eyed girls he should have been

[00:01:36] Acquainted with but for shouting and flailing

[00:01:39] Turn your life on the flip of this coin

[00:01:43] Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid

[00:01:48] And promise me you'll follow what it says

[00:01:52] Whatever it says

[00:01:57] He finally slugs it back to land

[00:01:59] Eeling chewed up and foolish

[00:02:01] Empties his pockets on

[00:02:02] The sand spewing a pool each

[00:02:06] Staggers back to his dad who's too cool to be

[00:02:10] So he says 'why did you have

[00:02:11] Me follow this stupid rule please'

[00:02:14] To be honest little fellow I'll tell you

[00:02:16] I was just as afraid as you

[00:02:19] But you said you wanted to get

[00:02:20] With people and places ever new

[00:02:23] And I got a bit scared of the fate

[00:02:25] Of my baby son's future

[00:02:27] So I invented a reason to see

[00:02:29] If you could ever make do

[00:02:32] As soon as you appeared behind

[00:02:33] That rock looking angry at me

[00:02:36] I soon realised what a hell of

[00:02:38] A man you've ended up being

[00:02:41] I knew you'd worked out how to swim

[00:02:43] Which I hadn't had in me

[00:02:45] And I stand as a companion of you

[00:02:47] Proudest a man has ever been

[00:02:49] Turn your life on the flip of this coin

[00:02:54] Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid

[00:02:58] And promise me you'll follow what it says

[00:03:03] Whatever it says
