《Bedlam》歌词

[00:00:00] Bedlam (混乱) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/The Imposters
[00:00:09] I've got this phosphorescent portrait of gentle Jesus meek and mild
[00:00:14] I've got this harlot that I'm stuck with carrying another man's child
[00:00:19] The solitary star announcing vacancy burnt out as we arrived
[00:00:24] They'd throw us back across the border if they knew that we survived
[00:00:28] And they were surprised to see us
[00:00:31] So they greeted us with palms
[00:00:33] They asked for ammunition acts of contrition and small alms
[00:00:38] I might recite a small prayer
[00:00:42] If I ever said them
[00:00:43] I lay down on an iron frame
[00:00:46] Found myself in bedlam
[00:00:48] I wish that I could take something for drowning out the noise
[00:00:53] Wailing echoes down the corridors
[00:01:05] I've got this imaginary radio and I'm punching up the dial
[00:01:10] I've got the A C trained on the T V so it won't blow up in my eye
[00:01:15] And everything that I thought fanciful and mocked as too extreme
[00:01:20] Must be family entertainment here in the strange land of my dreams
[00:01:25] Now I'm practicing my likeness of St Francis of Assisi
[00:01:30] For if I hold my hand outstretched
[00:01:32] A little bird comes to me
[00:01:35] I might recite a small prayer
[00:01:38] If I ever said them
[00:01:40] I lay down on an iron frame
[00:01:42] Found myself in bedlam
[00:01:45] Escaping from the fingers that were stretching through the bars
[00:01:50] Wailing echoes down the corridors
[00:02:03] The player piano picks out "Life Goes On"
[00:02:07] Ring tone rang out "Jerusalem"
[00:02:12] And in this pit of sadness
[00:02:14] Where the rank of wretched plunge
[00:02:17] We've buried all the innocents
[00:02:20] Now we must bury revenge
[00:02:32] They've got this scared and decorated girl strapped to the steel trunk of a mustang
[00:02:36] And then they drove her down a cypress grove where traitors hang and stars still spangle
[00:02:41] They dangled flags and other rags along a coloured thread of twine
[00:02:46] And then they dragged that bruised and purple heart along the road to Palestine
[00:02:52] Someone went off muttering he mentioned thirty pieces
[00:02:56] Easter saw a slaughtering each wrapped in bloodstained fleeces
[00:03:01] Then my thoughts returned to vengeance but I put up no resistance
[00:03:06] Though I seemed a long way from my home
[00:03:09] It really was no distance
[00:03:11] And I might recite a small prayer
[00:03:13] If I ever said them
[00:03:16] I lay down on an iron frame
[00:03:18] Found myself in bedlam
[00:03:21] Bowing like an actor acknowledging applause
[00:03:26] Playing the Crusader who was conquering the Moors
[00:03:31] And he knew the consequences but he won't accept the cause
[00:03:36] Wailing echoes down the corridors
