《Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine》歌词

[00:00:18] she hides in an attic concealed on a shelf

[00:00:26] behind volumes of literature based on herself

[00:00:35] and runs across the pages like some tiny elf

[00:00:40] knowing that it's hard to find

[00:00:44] stuff way back in her mind,

[00:00:48] winds up spending all of her time

[00:00:52] trying to memorize every line

[00:00:56] sweet lorraine,

[00:01:00] ah, sweet lorraine.

[00:01:05] sweet lady of death wants me to die

[00:01:14] so she can come sit by my bedside and sigh

[00:01:23] and wipe away the tears from all my friends eyes

[00:01:28] then softly she will explain

[00:01:31] just exactly who was to blame

[00:01:36] for causing me to go insane

[00:01:40] and finally blow out my brain,

[00:01:44] sweet lorraine,

[00:01:47] ah, sweet lorraine.

[00:01:52] well you know that it's a shame and a pity

[00:01:57] you were raised up in the city

[00:02:01] and you never learned nothing 'bout country ways,

[00:02:08] ah, 'bout country ways.

[00:02:14] the joy of life she dresses in black

[00:02:23] with celestial secrets engraved in her back

[00:02:31] and her face keeps flashing that she's got the knack,

[00:02:36] but you know when you look into her eyes

[00:02:40] all she's learned she's had to memorize

[00:02:44] and the only way you'll ever get her high

[00:02:49] is to let her do her thing and then watch you die,

[00:02:52] sweet lorraine,

[00:02:56] ah, sweet lorraine.

[00:03:02] now she's the one who gives us all those magical things

[00:03:11] and reads us stories out of the i ching,

[00:03:19] then she passes out a whole new basket of rings

[00:03:25] that when you put on your hand

[00:03:28] makes you one of the angel band

[00:03:33] and gives you the power to be a man,

[00:03:37] but what it does for her you never quite understand

[00:03:41] sweet lorraine,

[00:03:44] ah, sweet lorraine.

[00:03:50] well you know that it's a shame and a pity

[00:03:54] you were raised up in the city

[00:03:58] and you never learned nothing 'bout country ways,

[00:04:05] oh 'bout country ways, oh 'bout country ways,

[00:04:13] yeah, about country ways
