《Down Here Below》歌词

[00:00:00] Down Here Below - Steve Earle

[00:00:25] Pale male the famous redtail hawk performs wingstands high above midtown Manhattan

[00:00:32] Circles around for one last pass over the park

[00:00:36] Got his eye on a fat squirrel down there and a couple of pigeons

[00:00:40] They got no place to run they got no place to hide

[00:00:46] But pale male he’s cool see ‘cause his breakfast ain’t goin’ nowhere

[00:00:50] So he does a loop t loop for the tourists and the six o’clock news

[00:00:55] Got him a penthouse view from the tip-top of the food chain boys

[00:01:00] He looks up and down on fifth ave and says “God I love this town”

[00:01:07] But life goes on down here below

[00:01:17] And all us mortals struggle so

[00:01:24] We laugh and cry

[00:01:30] And live and die

[00:01:34] That’s how it goes

[00:01:37] For all we know

[00:01:39] Down here below

[00:01:43] I saw Joe Mitchell’s ghost on a downtown A train

[00:02:01] He just rides on forever now that the Fulton fish market’s shut down

[00:02:06] He said they ain’t never gonna get that smell out of the water

[00:02:11] I don’t give a damn how much of that new money they burn’

[00:02:17] Now hell’s kitchen’s Clinton and the bowery’s Nolita

[00:02:22] And the east village’s creepin cross the Williamsburg bridge

[00:02:27] And hey whatever happened to alphabet city

[00:02:31] Ain’t no place left in this town that a poor boy can go

[00:02:38] But life goes on down here below

[00:02:46] And all us mortals struggle so

[00:02:56] We laugh and cry

[00:03:01] And live and die

[00:03:06] That’s how it goes

[00:03:08] For all we know

[00:03:11] Down here below

[00:03:18] Pale male swimmin’ in the air

[00:03:23] Looks like he’s in heaven up there

[00:03:28] People sufferin’ everywhere

[00:03:31] But he don’t care

[00:03:37] But life goes on down here below

[00:03:46] And all us mortals struggle so

[00:03:55] We laugh and cry
