《Thin Blue Flame》歌词

[00:00:00] Thin Blue Flame - Josh Ritter
[00:00:18] I became a thin blue flame
[00:00:20] Polished on a mountain range
[00:00:27] And over hills and fields I flew
[00:00:35] Wrapped up in a royal blue
[00:00:42] I flew over Royal City last night
[00:00:46] A bullfighter on the horns of a new moon's light Caesar's ghost
[00:00:50] I saw the war-time tides
[00:00:52] The prince of Denmark's father still and quiet
[00:00:56] And the whole world was looking to get drowned
[00:01:01] Trees were a fist shaking themselves at the clouds
[00:01:04] I looked over curtains and it was then that I knew
[00:01:08] Only a full house gonna make it through
[00:01:12] I became a thin blue wire
[00:01:17] That held the world above the fire
[00:01:27] And so it was I saw behind
[00:01:33] Heaven's just a thin blue line
[00:01:40] If God's up there he's in a cold dark room
[00:01:45] The heavenly host are just the cold dark moons
[00:01:48] He bent down and made the world in seven days
[00:01:50] And ever since he's been a'walking away
[00:01:55] Mixing with nitrogen in lonely holes
[00:01:58] Where neither seraphim or raindrops go
[00:02:01] I see an old man wandering the halls alone
[00:02:05] Only a full house gonna make a home
[00:02:09] I became a thin blue stream
[00:02:15] The smoke between asleep and dreams
[00:02:23] And in that clear blue undertow
[00:02:31] I saw Royal City far below
[00:02:39] Borders soft with refugees
[00:02:42] Streets a'swimming with amputees
[00:02:46] It's a Bible or a bullet they put over your heart
[00:02:49] It's getting harder and harder to tell them apart
[00:02:52] Days are nights and the nights are long
[00:02:55] Beating hearts blossom into walking bombs
[00:02:59] And those still looking in the clear blue sky for a sign
[00:03:03] Get missiles from so high they might as well be divine
[00:03:06] Now the wolves are howling at our door
[00:03:10] Singing bout vengeance like it's the joy of the Lord
[00:03:13] Bringing justice to the enemies not the other way round
[00:03:20] If what's loosed on earth will be loosed up on high
[00:03:24] It's a Hell of a Heaven we must go to when we die
[00:03:27] Where even Laurel begs Hardy for vengeance please
[00:03:30] The fat man is crying on his hands and his knees
[00:03:35] Back in the peacetime he caught roses on the stage
[00:03:38] Now he twists indecision takes bourbon for rage
[00:03:42] Lead pellets peppering aluminum
[00:03:45] Halcyon laudanum and Opium
[00:03:49] Sings kiss thee hardy this poisoned cup
[00:03:53] His winding sheet is busy winding up
[00:03:56] In darkness he looks for the light that has died
[00:04:00] But you need faith for the same reasons that it's so hard to find
[00:04:04] And this whole thing is headed for a terrible wreck
[00:04:07] And like good tragedy that's what we expect
[00:04:12] At night I make plans for a city laid down
[00:04:44] Like the hips of a girl on the spring covered ground
[00:04:49] Spirals and capitals like the twist of a script
[00:04:52] Streets named for heroes that could almost exist
[00:04:56] The fruit trees of Eden and the gardens that seem
[00:04:59] To float like the smoke from a lithium dream
[00:05:02] Cedar trees growing in the cool of the squares
[00:05:06] The young women walking in the portals of prayer
[00:05:09] And the future glass buildings and the past an address
[00:05:13] And the weddings in pollen and the wine bottomless
[00:05:16] And all wrongs forgotten and all vengeance made right
[00:05:19] The suffering verbs put to sleep in the night
[00:05:23] The future descending like a bright chandelier
[00:05:27] And the world just beginning and the guests in good cheer
[00:05:30] In Royal City I fell into a trance
[00:05:33] Oh it's hell to believe there ain't a hell of a chance
[00:05:37] I woke beneath a clear blue sky
[00:06:27] The sun a shout the breeze a sigh
[00:06:36] My old hometown and the streets I knew
[00:06:42] Were wrapped up in a royal blue
[00:06:50] I heard my friends laughing out across the fields
[00:06:55] The girls in the gloaming and the birds on the wheel
[00:06:57] The raw smell of horses and the warm smell of hay
[00:07:01] Cicadas electric in the heat of the day
[00:07:04] A run of Three Sisters and the flush of the land
[00:07:08] And the lake was a diamond in the valley's hand
[00:07:11] The straight of the highway and the scattered out hearts
[00:07:15] They were coming together they pulling apart
[00:07:18] And angels everywhere were in my midst
[00:07:21] In the ones that I loved in the ones that I kissed
[00:07:25] I wondered what it was I'd been looking for up above
[00:07:28] Heaven is so big there ain't no need to look up
[00:07:32] So I stopped looking for royal cities in the air
[00:07:35] Only a full house gonna have a prayer
