[00:00.00] 作词 : David Byrne/Sam Spiegel/Zé Gonzales/Charles Stewart/Timothy Parker/Kejuan Mujita/Albert Johnson
[00:00.07] 作曲 : David Byrne/Sam Spiegel/Zé Gonzales/Charles Stewart/Timothy Parker/Kejuan Mujita/Albert Johnson
[00:00.15] With the N.A.S.A. team, we will take you boldly, where no man has ever
[00:04.50] gone before. We will take you back some fifteen billion years to the beginning of time.
[00:10.14] (Chali 2na)
[00:10.77] Yo! From a drop of blood to bones and body parts
[00:13.23] To vital organs form and your brain and tiny heart
[00:15.87] Your fetus, date of birth, till puberty finally starts
[00:18.33] Adolescence, adult, then your elderly body rots.
[00:21.09] It was divine decree, that begun the plan,
[00:23.73] But it's disease by the greed of the sons of man,
[00:26.31] Who try to lead with their guns in hand.
[00:28.41] Understand God's the one that command
[00:30.12] (David Byrne)
[00:30.60] Did we climb out of the sea?
[00:35.46] Where did we come from you and me?
[00:40.71] Two legs to walk and eyes to see
[00:46.89] Am I the man I want to be?
[00:51.09] (David Byrne, The Crack Alley Children's Choir & the & Gift of Gab)
[00:53.10] People grow in my back yard (Gab: I'm growin' in your back yard).
[00:55.53] In my garden, in my heart (Gab: I'm in your garden, I'm in your heart).
[01:10.95] Pink and purple red and blue (Gab: See all the colors?)
[01:19.50] On this sunny afternoon (Gab: It's a sunny afternoon).
[01:24.03] (Gift of Gab)
[01:24.30] Back before time was time and space was space,
[01:26.67] The ever present I divine so laced with grace.
[01:29.31] Decided it was time to try to chase the taste,
[01:31.86] To what it was designed, now life is taking place.
[01:34.47] Within it self divided, now it takes some space.
[01:37.08] They can't be fathomed by a mind creates the state.
[01:39.69] Of ego now what's is mine is mine, OK now hate.
[01:42.33] We'll reign until the blind have eyes and they awaken
[01:45.81] (David Byrne)
[01:46.08] Planting the seeds, in the ground,
[01:48.96] How is my garden growing now?
[01:50.49] A tender kiss, a little smile,
[01:54.33] The way a mother holds her child.
[02:05.25] (David Byrne, The Crack Alley Children's Choir & Chali 2na)
[02:10.14] Tasty little human beings (Chali: Tasty little human beings)
[02:18.87] I grow them on the people tree (Chali: I grow them on the people tree)
[02:20.43] I will eat them one by one (Chali: I will eat them one by one)
[02:21.57] If there's enough for everyone.
[02:22.17] (Gift of Gab & Chali 2na)
[02:22.59] Gab: Oh, unending ever flowing life beyond the birth,
[02:28.74] Tell me what the purpose is for creating the earth.
[02:31.17] Chali: Mainly we created the planet as man's habitat.
[02:33.99] Be fruitful and multiply across the planet's back.
[02:36.57] Gab: But why does hate exist, the war and AIDS and shit?
[02:39.36] If we're to be fruitful, why can't poor people pay they rent?
[02:41.85] Chali: Cause love and hate, both sides are conjoined
[02:43.95] Physical forms have to deal with both sides of the coin.
[02:46.44] Gab:Why do we die?
[02:47.37] Chali: So you can live.
[02:47.79] Gab: Why do we strive?
[02:48.66] Chali: So you can win.
[02:49.17] But why do you defy every truthful word I recommend?
[02:51.66] Gab: My question back: Why do you recommend then throw temptation in?
[02:54.36] Chali: So I can test you patience and tolerance in the face of sin.
[02:56.91] Gab: But why a test when you hold all the answers to the state we in?
[02:59.43] Chali: For you to bear witness to imperfections of mortal men.
[03:02.07] Gab:So it's a lesson?
[03:03.06] Chali: And a blessing journey back to where you've been,
[03:04.68] Chali and Gab: Cause before the tree can flourish seeds must first be planted in!
[03:07.50] (David Byrne, The Crack Alley Children's Choir & the & Gift of Gab)
[03:10.98] People grow in, my back yard (Gab: I'm growin' in your back yard).
[03:18.84] In my garden, in my heart (Gab: I'm in your garden, I'm in your heart!)
[03:30.42] If you like my garden, you might like me (Gab: Look at all the colors!)
[03:35.46] Underneath the people tree.
[03:36.21] Getting' closer to god!
[03:36.81] Getting' closer to god!
[03:39.00] Call upon your god!
