《Opium Tea》歌词

[00:00:00] Opium Tea - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (尼克·凯夫和坏种乐队)

[00:00:28] There I sleep the morning through

[00:00:33] Till the wail of the call to prayer awakes me

[00:00:38] And there ain't nothing at all to do

[00:00:41] But rise and follow

[00:00:43] The day wherever it takes me

[00:00:49] I stand at the window and I look at the sea

[00:00:54] And I am what I am and what will be will be

[00:00:58] I stand at the window and I look at the sea

[00:01:03] And I make me a pot of o***m tea

[00:01:16] Down at the port I watch the boats come in

[00:01:21] Watch the boats come in can do something to you

[00:01:25] And the kids gather around with an outstretched hand

[00:01:30] And I toss them a dirham or two

[00:01:35] Well I wonder if my children are thinking of me

[00:01:41] Cause I am what I am and what will be will be

[00:01:46] I wonder if my kids are thinking of me

[00:01:50] And I smile and I sip my o***m tea

[00:02:03] At night the sea lashes the rust red ramparts

[00:02:09] And the shapes of hooded men who pass me

[00:02:14] And the moan of the wind laughs

[00:02:17] And laughs and laughs

[00:02:19] The strange luck that fate has cast me

[00:02:24] Well the cats on the rampart sing merrily

[00:02:28] That he is what he is and what will be will be

[00:02:33] Yeah the cats on the rampart sing merrily

[00:02:37] And I sit and I drink of my o***m tea

[00:02:51] I'm a prisoner here I can never go home

[00:02:55] There is nothing here to win or lose

[00:03:00] There are no choices needed to be made at all

[00:03:04] Not even the choice of having to choose

[00:03:10] Well I'm a prisoner here yes but I'm also free

[00:03:15] Cause I am what I am and what will be will be

[00:03:20] I'm a prisoner here yeah but I'm also free

[00:03:24] And I smile and I sip my o***m tea
