[00:00.00] 作曲 : Brian Eno
[00:08.36] Backwater
[00:11.99] We're sailing at the edges of time
[00:15.83] Backwater
[00:19.66] We're drifting at the waterline
[00:22.67] Oh we're floating in the coastal waters
[00:25.06] You and me and the porter's daughters
[00:26.90] Ooh what to do not a sausage to do
[00:30.39] And the shorter of the porter's daughters
[00:32.68] Dips her hand in the deadly waters
[00:34.68] Ooh what to do in a tiny canoe
[00:38.88] Black water
[00:42.67] There were six of us but now we are five
[00:46.51] We're all talking
[00:50.24] To keep the conversation alive
[00:53.38] There was a senator from Ecuador
[00:55.56] Who talked about a meteor
[00:57.55] That crashed on a hill in the south of Peru
[01:00.91] And was found by a conquistador
[01:03.21] Who took it to the emperor
[01:05.25] And he passed it on to a Turkish guru
[01:09.65] His daughter
[01:13.34] Was slated for becoming divine
[01:17.37] He taught her
[01:21.10] He taught her how to split and define
[01:23.92] But if you study the logistics
[01:26.17] And heuristics of the mystics
[01:28.27] You will find that their minds rarely move in a line
[01:31.84] So it's much more realistic
[01:33.73] To abandon such ballistics
[01:35.66] And resign to be trapped on a leaf in the vine
[02:11.15] Backwater
[02:14.88] We're sailing at the edges of time
[02:18.71] Backwater
[02:22.57] We're drifting at the waterline
[02:25.53] Oh we're floating in the coastal waters
[02:27.88] You and me and the porter's daughters
[02:29.88] Ooh what to do not a sausage to do
[02:33.29] And the shorter of the porter's daughters
[02:35.60] Dips her hand in the deadly waters
[02:37.54] Ooh what to do in a tiny canoe
