《The Gate(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Gate (Edit) - Sam Roberts

[00:00:13] Over land I traveled time and space and quicksand

[00:00:19] And for sixty days I knew no other road

[00:00:25] And through the maelstrom

[00:00:29] Which turned in time with the kick drum

[00:00:32] I was swallowed and twisted and spit out on a coast

[00:00:38] And in this place there stands a gate

[00:00:41] That leads to the heart of the city

[00:00:44] And I've spent seven years and a sea of fears

[00:00:47] In this broken mirror of a city

[00:00:51] Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city

[00:00:55] Sweet sunlight I can see it in my mind's eye

[00:01:01] Yeah I remember feeling alright

[00:01:03] And I saw black clouds and Turin shrouds and it smelled of a faded empire

[00:01:12] It's all concrete and steel we're asleep at the wheel

[00:01:16] And the mayor's just a gun for hire

[00:01:19] Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city

[00:01:26] Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city

[00:01:38] I've heard the song the morning sings

[00:01:41] Outside the gate is everything

[00:01:44] Let in the light Let in the light

[00:01:47] Streetwalker said to me she has no need for history

[00:01:52] She has the key she has the key

[00:01:56] Sweet sunlight I can see it in my mind's eye

[00:02:01] Let in the light Let in the light

[00:02:11] Waking up from a dream where I was the stone and you were the stream

[00:02:23] Chemical City isn't all that you need but it's all that

[00:02:32] You're getting and they've hidden the key

[00:02:37] Listen to the streets there's a heartbeat missing in the city

[00:02:43] Listen to the sound there's a time bomb ticking in the city

[00:02:52] Let in the light let in the light

[00:02:55] I said this place is an unnatural disaster

[00:02:58] And I'm a visitor here so I asked her:

[00:03:01] Where are the trees where are the trees

[00:03:06] And she said free yourself from history

[00:03:10] That is the key That is the key

[00:03:13] Sweet sunlight I can see it in my mind's eye

[00:03:19] I see the light I see the light

[00:03:27] Can you feel it There's a heartbeat missing in the city

[00:03:31] Yeah there's a heartbeat missing in the city

[00:03:35] Where all the fat-cats are hissing at your pity

[00:03:38] There's a heartbeat missing

[00:03:39] The gate is gone so you better run

[00:03:42] You better run run run run

[00:03:45] You better run run run run

[00:03:48] You better run
