《Before the Water Gets Too High》歌词

[00:00:00] Before the Water Gets Too High - Parquet Courts

[00:00:01] Composer：Austin Brown&Andrew Savage&Sean Yeaton&Max Savage

[00:00:13] Seldom have I ever questioned the end

[00:00:16] Still I grow frost when I'm reminded

[00:00:26] Euphemisms on a loop interchange

[00:00:28] Which hands get to turn the final page

[00:00:32] In whose throat belongs the swan song

[00:00:34] Of crisis warming denial change

[00:00:38] Stage TV helps the public explain

[00:00:41] Broadcast beamed into the dry terrain

[00:00:44] Images of drenched survival

[00:00:47] Without hope but soaked with pain

[00:00:50] Consequences of reality felt

[00:00:53] All conditions of humanity built

[00:00:57] On the bridges

[00:00:58] Tent villages waiting for the state to help

[00:01:03] Glass barely bends before it cracks

[00:01:10] Embedded down into our path

[00:01:16] Paved in the crimson of our tracks

[00:01:23] Without the chance of turning back

[00:01:29] Before the water gets too high

[00:01:41] Before the water gets too high

[00:01:55] If the clock strikes midnight

[00:01:57] Then what becomes of our demonstrations

[00:02:08] To which fate have these gatherings fell

[00:02:11] Which halls echo all the chants we yelled

[00:02:14] Into faces on the coins we tossed into the wishing well

[00:02:21] Drinking water on which we subsist

[00:02:23] Mixing into rivers that did not exist yesterday

[00:02:28] When all the warning signs were there but sorely missed

[00:02:32] Whats it worth all the money we made

[00:02:36] Floating idly in a newborn lake

[00:02:39] Far above financial centers

[00:02:42] Cities sink like market rates

[00:02:45] Glass barely bends before it cracks

[00:02:52] Embedded down into our path

[00:02:59] Paved in the crimson of our tracks

[00:03:05] Without the chance of turning back

[00:03:11] Before the water gets too high

[00:03:14] Add up the bribes you take

[00:03:17] And know time can't be bought

[00:03:20] By the profits that you make

[00:03:23] Before the water gets too high

[00:03:27] To float the powers that be

[00:03:30] Or is it someone else job

[00:03:33] Until the rich are refugees

[00:03:37] Before the water gets too high

[00:03:43] Before the water gets too high

[00:03:49] Before the water gets too high

[00:03:56] Before the water gets too high
