《Flat Fee》歌词

[00:00:00] In the cool shade of the banana tree

[00:00:00] On the rugged trail toward the balcony

[00:00:03] A child of the twentieth century

[00:00:04] A dried up Goliath and a weasel named Fee

[00:00:06] Far away in another place

[00:00:07] A fading beauty named Milly Grace

[00:00:08] A gospel singer with pocks on her face

[00:00:11] And a bamboo cane to help her keep the pace

[00:00:13] Fee was a Buddhist prodigy

[00:00:14] Long past the age of maturity

[00:00:15] Someday he knew it would set him free

[00:00:16] Like it did for Floyd the chimpanzee

[00:00:17] Oh Fee you're trying to live a life

[00:00:18] That's completely free

[00:00:20] You're racing with the wind you're flirting with death

[00:00:21] So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath

[00:00:23] Oh Fee you're trying to live a life

[00:00:24] That's completely free

[00:00:25] You're racing with the wind you're flirting with death

[00:00:29] So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath

[00:00:31] Fee first met Milly in a bar in Peru

[00:00:32] His heart was jumping like a kangaroo

[00:00:33] Like a beast in a cage in an old Dutch zoo

[00:00:34] It was hopping and thumping in wooden shoes

[00:00:36] But Floyd was jealous and alone

[00:00:37] He wanted Milly for his own

[00:00:38] A desperate craving in his bones

[00:00:39] Their love he said I will not condone

[00:00:40] Then one day on a ship to Quebec

[00:00:41] Floyd found Milly on a lover's trek

[00:00:42] He picked up a bottle and broke off the neck

[00:00:43] It sliced through the air and Fee hit the deck

[00:00:44] Oh Fee you're trying to live a life

[00:00:45] That's completely free

[00:00:46] You want to stay with Milly until you're dead

[00:00:47] But you just got a bottle upside your head

[00:00:48] Oh Fee you're trying to live a life

[00:00:49] That's completely free

[00:00:49] You want to stay with Milly until you're dead

[00:00:50] But you just got a bottle upside your head

[00:00:51] Milly turned and began to scream at Floyd

[00:00:52] She said You think you're pretty mean

[00:00:53] And though she was as thin as a small string bean

[00:00:54] She slammed him in the face with a nectarine

[00:00:55] Floyd fell back over the edge of the ship

[00:00:56] Till he hung from the rail by his fingertip

[00:00:57] Milly said Floyd I'll make you lose your grip

[00:00:58] With this tiny piece of paper I can make you slip

[00:00:59] So Milly took that paper and did the deed

[00:01:55] Floyd hit the water with astonishing speed

[00:01:56] And as the sharks circled and began to feed

[00:01:57] Milly knew her weasel was finally free

[00:01:58] Oh Fee you're trying to live a life

[00:01:59] That's completely free

[00:01:59] Floyd is dead he's nothing but a ripple

[00:02:00] 'Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple

[00:02:03] Oh Fee you're trying to live a life

[00:02:04] That's completely free

[00:02:06] Floyd is dead he's nothing but a ripple

[00:02:06] 'Cause Milly took that paper and sliced him on the nipple

[00:02:09] Oh Fee you're trying to live a life

[00:02:10] That's completely free

[00:02:11] You're racing with the wind you're flirting with death

[00:02:13] So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath

[00:02:13] Oh Fee you're trying to live a life

[00:02:15] That's completely free

[00:02:20] You're racing with the wind you're flirting with death

[00:02:21] So have a cup of coffee and catch your breath
