[00:00.00] 作曲 : Sheff
[00:02.56] By the second , dear friends
[00:04.25] My head will burst, my life will end
[00:06.74] So, I'd like to start this one off by saying
[00:09.80] Live and love
[00:11.55] I was young and at home in bed
[00:14.11] And I was hanging on the words some poem said
[00:16.29] And thirty-one
[00:16.85] I was impressionable
[00:18.91] I was upsettable
[00:24.47]
[00:26.02] I tried to make my breathing stop, my heart beat slow
[00:32.64]
[00:36.45] So, when my mom and John came in, I would be cold
[00:43.31]
[00:47.74] From a on Washington Avenue, the year of 1972
[00:51.55] Broke my bones and skull and it was memorable
[00:57.61] It was half a second and I was halfway down
[01:00.10] Do you think I wanted to turn back around and teach a class
[01:03.91] Where you kiss the ass that I've exposed to you
[01:10.90]
[01:12.28] And at the funeral, the University
[01:20.01]
[01:22.26] Cried at three poems they'd present in place of a broken me
[01:30.68]
[01:32.87] I was breaking in a case of suds
[01:35.49] At the brass rail, a fall-down drunk with his tongue torn out and his balls removed
[01:42.79] And I knew that my last lines were gone while stupidly I lingered on
[01:46.72] Other wise men know when it's time to go
[01:52.02] And so I should, too
[01:56.20]
[01:57.01] And so I fly into the brightest winter sun
[02:02.51]
[02:07.06] Of this frozen town, I'm stripped down to move on
[02:13.61]
[02:15.36] My friends, I'm gone
[02:18.42]
[02:28.40] Well, I hear my father fall
[02:34.33] And I hear my mother call
[02:39.32] And I hear the others all whispering, Come home
[02:47.31] I'm sorry to go
[02:52.49] I loved you all so
[02:55.86]
[02:59.60] But this is the worst trip I've ever been on
[03:10.09] So, hoist up the John B. sail
[03:13.46] (Hoist up the John B. sail)
[03:15.58] See how the main sail sets
[03:17.51] (See how the main sail sets)
[03:20.32] I've folded my heart in my head and I wanna go home
[03:26.62]
[03:27.43] With a book in my hand
[03:32.11] In the way I had planned
[03:35.80]
[03:38.23] Well, this is the worst trip I've ever been on
[03:44.28]
[03:48.59] Hoist up the John B. sail
[03:51.46] (Hoist up the John B. sail)
[03:54.08] See how the main sail sets
[03:55.76] (See how the main sail sets)
[03:58.33] I've folded my heart in my head and I wanna go home
[04:05.69] With a book in each hand
[04:08.56] (With a book in each hand)
[04:10.24] In the way I had planned
[04:12.55] (In the way I had planned)
[04:16.36] I feel so broke up
[04:21.16] I wanna go home
