歌曲歌詞
The stories of the street are mine
The spanish voices laugh
Cadillacs go creeping down
The night and the poison gas
I lean from my window sill
This old hotel I choose
Yes one hand on my suicide
And one hand on the rose
I know you've heard it's over now
And war must surely come
The cities they are broke in half
And the middle men are gone
But let me ask you one more time
Oh children of the dust
Oh these hunters shrieking now
Do they speak for us
And where all these highways go
Now that we are free
Why are the armies marching still
That were coming home to me
Oh lady with your legs so fine
Oh stranger at your wheel
You are locked into your suffering
Your pleasure is the seal
The age of lust is giving birth
Both the parents ask
The nurse to tell them fairy tales
On both sides of the glass
Now the infant with his cord
Is hauled in like a kite
With one eye filled with blueprints
And one eye filled with night
So come with me my little one
We will find that farm
Grow us grass and apples there
To keep the animals warm
And if by chance I wake at night
And I ask you who I am
Take me to the slaughter house
I will wait there with the lamb
With one hand on a hexagram
And the other on a girl
I balance on a wishing well
That both men call the world
We are so small between the stars
So large against the sky
And lost among the subway crowds
I try to catch your eye
