[00:00.00]	作曲 : Skinner
[00:09.56]	From the point he gazed from the choice was made, but 'walk the cave or the shore?'
[00:14.14]	The oily cave seemed to breathe on him through gravestone jaws
[00:18.22]	His little hand grasped in anguish as he weighed up his coin
[00:22.62]	Somewhere a blue-eyed girl in the world is just waiting for a boy
[00:26.98]	Footprints trailed as if trod by slaves up to the grey cave floor
[00:31.35]	But not one graze from anything ever escaping this fort
[00:35.76]	So with coin on hand his joy came back when ordered to take the shore
[00:40.22]	'Why on earth', as he wandered the warmth, 'am I obeying this coin?'
[00:44.52]	Turn your life on the flip of this coin
[00:48.92]	Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid
[00:53.44]	And promise me you'll follow what it says
[00:57.80]	Whatever it says
[01:00.56]
[01:02.00]	Again, walk within the trusted beach or swim the swell of the sea?
[01:06.51]	And again the scarier alternative looked like certain death to he
[01:11.23]	He'd never learnt to skill of swimming - it never occurred to be very easy
[01:15.57]	And again he winced as he flipped the coin and it twirled to his feet
[01:19.63]	'How is this sane?' he blamed the coin now aiming for the waves
[01:24.06]	As he hesitated at the swirl of water as it raged and rained
[01:28.45]	Blue-eyed girls were waiting and he was drowning in the spray
[01:33.01]	Blue-eyed girls he should have been acquainted with but for shouting and flailing
[01:37.70]	Turn your life on the flip of this coin
[01:41.73]	Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid
[01:46.21]	And promise me you'll follow what it says
[01:50.74]	Whatever it says
[01:53.65]
[01:54.87]	He finally slugs it back to land feeling chewed-up and foolish
[01:59.93]	Empties his pockets on the sand spewing a pool each
[02:03.93]	Staggers back to his dad who's too cool to be
[02:08.29]	So he says 'why did you have me follow this stupid rule, please?'
[02:12.77]	To be honest little fellow I'll tell you
[02:15.32]	I was just as afraid as you
[02:17.29]	But you said you wanted to get with people and places ever new
[02:21.36]	And I got a bit scared of the fate of my baby son's future
[02:25.70]	So I invented a reason to see if you could ever make do
[02:29.92]	As soon as you appeared behind that rock looking angry at me
[02:34.47]	I soon realised what a hell of a man you've ended up being
[02:38.70]	I knew you'd worked out how to swim, which I hadn't had in me
[02:43.56]	And I stand as a companion of you, proudest a man has ever been
[02:48.26]	Turn your life on the flip of this coin
[02:52.36]	Turn upside a choice you'd normally avoid
[02:56.74]	And promise me you'll follow what it says
[03:00.95]	Whatever it says
[03:04.90]
