《The Curtain》歌词

[00:00:00] The Curtain - Deer Tick

[00:00:18] The excuses turn to makeup

[00:00:22] And know what man I am

[00:00:26] I boast my silly knowledge

[00:00:30] And crucify my friends

[00:00:33] It's only looking back

[00:00:36] On my crooked footprints

[00:00:41] I break myself a promise

[00:00:44] Not to do that again

[00:00:49] The stage hands are all gone

[00:00:52] The curtain still remains

[00:00:55] It hides the puppeteer

[00:00:59] Oh pulling on my strings

[00:01:02] I could swear I'm in control

[00:01:06] I could make a judge convinced

[00:01:10] But I know my spirit quit

[00:01:13] I don't wanna be

[00:01:16] Your bargaining chip

[00:01:25] The organ pleases no one

[00:01:29] The piano is pulling teeth

[00:01:32] The guitar is strung with nothing

[00:01:36] And never makes a beep

[00:01:40] It's only now I laugh

[00:01:43] While the master takes a break

[00:01:47] Who's counting all those tickets

[00:01:50] Who's drooling on the stage

[00:01:56] The sound men are all gone

[00:01:58] The curtain still remains

[00:02:02] It hides the puppeteer

[00:02:05] Oh pulling on my strings

[00:02:09] I could swear I'm in control

[00:02:13] I could make a judge convinced

[00:02:16] But I know my spirit quit

[00:02:20] I don't wanna be

[00:02:23] Your bargaining chip

[00:02:44] The stage hands are all gone

[00:02:47] The curtain still remains

[00:02:51] It hides the puppeteer

[00:02:55] Pulling on my strings

[00:02:58] I could swear I'm in control

[00:03:02] I could make a judge convinced

[00:03:05] But I know that my spirit quit

[00:03:09] I don't wanna be

[00:03:12] Your bargaining chip

[00:03:20] Your bargaining chip
