《Jack Ruby》歌词

[00:00:00] Jack Ruby - Camper Van Beethoven

[00:00:15] I remember his hat tilted forward

[00:00:23] His glasses are folded in his vest

[00:00:31] And he seems like the kind of man who beats his horses

[00:00:41] Or the dancers who work at a bar

[00:00:47] We saw on the screen his face for a moment

[00:00:55] No time to plead or even ask why

[00:01:03] Jack ruby appeared from out of nowhere

[00:01:12] Then disappeared in broad daylight

[00:01:18] 'Cause he's a friend of that cloven hoofed gangster the devil

[00:01:26] He's been seen with the sheriff and the police

[00:01:34] Drinking whiskey and water after hours saying

[00:01:41] Let's do business boys the drinks are on me

[00:01:50] So draw the box along quickly

[00:01:58] Avert your eyes with shame

[00:02:05] Let us stand and speak of the weather

[00:02:11] And pretend nothing ever happened on that day

[00:02:53] Grant us the luxury 'cause all our heroes are bastards

[00:03:00] Grant us the luxury 'cause all our heroes are thieves

[00:03:08] Of the innocence of the afternoons

[00:03:15] Now we think it's a virtue to simply survive

[00:03:24] But it feels like this calm it's decaying

[00:03:32] It's collapsing under its own weight

[00:03:40] And I think its your friend the hangman coming

[00:03:46] Choking back a laugh a drunkard swaggering to your door

[00:04:27] Now do you feel that cold icy presence

[00:04:35] In the morning with coffee and with bread

[00:04:43] Do you feel it in the movement of traffic

[00:04:49] And days are terrible simply forget
