《Reconstruction Site(TV Verison)》歌词

[00:00:00] Reconstruction Site (TV Version) - The Weakerthans

[00:00:21] Well I'm lost I'm a frayed

[00:00:23] Rope tying down a leaky boat

[00:00:26] To the roof of a car on a road in the dark

[00:00:28] And it's snowing

[00:00:31] If I'm more then it means less

[00:00:34] Last call for happiness

[00:00:36] I'm your dress near the back of your knees

[00:00:38] And your slip is showing

[00:00:41] I'm a float in a summer parade

[00:00:45] Up the street in the town

[00:00:48] That you were born in

[00:00:52] With a girl at the top wearing tulle

[00:00:56] And a Miss Somewhere sash

[00:00:59] Waving like the queen

[00:01:04] Well beauty's just another word

[00:01:06] I'm never certain how to spell

[00:01:09] Go tell the nurse to turn the TV back on

[00:01:14] And throw away my misery

[00:01:17] It never meant that much to me

[00:01:19] It never sent a get-well card

[00:01:35] And I broke like a bad joke

[00:01:38] Somebody's uncle told

[00:01:40] At a wedding reception in 1972

[00:01:45] Where a little boy under a table

[00:01:47] With cake in his hair

[00:01:50] Stared at the grown-up feet

[00:01:52] As they danced and swayed

[00:01:56] And his father laughed

[00:01:57] And talked on the long ride home

[00:02:02] And his mother laughed

[00:02:03] And talked on the long ride home

[00:02:07] And he thought about

[00:02:08] How everyone dies someday

[00:02:13] And when tomorrow gets here

[00:02:16] Where will yesterday be

[00:02:20] And fell asleep in his brand new winter coat

[00:02:26] Buy me a shiny new machine

[00:02:28] That runs on lies and gasoline

[00:02:31] And all those batteries we stole

[00:02:33] From smoke alarms

[00:02:37] And disassembles my despair

[00:02:39] It never took me anywhere

[00:02:42] It never once bought me a drink
