《American Backslide》歌词

[00:00:06] American Backslide - Garland Jeffrey

[00:00:10] How does it feel

[00:00:12] In the morning shower

[00:00:14] Will the great decision

[00:00:16] Come before lunch hour

[00:00:18] From the ivory tower

[00:00:20] Like a proclamation

[00:00:22] Who'll be the next to go

[00:00:28] How does it feel

[00:00:29] When you got no power

[00:00:32] And your fate is shaky

[00:00:34] Like your destination

[00:00:36] And your future's empty

[00:00:38] Full of just frustration

[00:00:40] And you're searching high and low

[00:00:45] One o'clock jump one o'clock jump

[00:00:54] One o'clock jump one o'clock jump

[00:01:03] How does it feel

[00:01:04] When you got no job

[00:01:07] And you got three kids

[00:01:09] Nothin' much to eat

[00:01:11] And you steal and you rob

[00:01:13] Just to make ends meet

[00:01:15] And you can't even stand on your own two feet

[00:01:20] How does it feel

[00:01:22] When your favorite player

[00:01:24] Has been bought and sold

[00:01:26] Before he gets too old

[00:01:29] Leave him out in the cold

[00:01:31] With a pension and a plaque

[00:01:33] And a drug addiction for his sacroiliac

[00:01:38] One o'clock jump one o'clock jump

[00:01:46] One o'clock jump one o'clock jump

[00:02:30] How does it feel

[00:02:32] When you're driving around

[00:02:34] In your automobile

[00:02:36] And they tell you it's real

[00:02:39] On your radio

[00:02:41] That they're makin' a deal

[00:02:43] But you know in your heart it's a dirty deal

[00:02:48] How does it feel

[00:02:50] When everything you say

[00:02:52] Seems to wash away

[00:02:54] And is twisted like clay

[00:02:56] And you stammer and you stutter

[00:02:58] Every word you mutter

[00:03:00] Like an echo in the dark

[00:03:02] Is so ineffective

[00:03:05] One o'clock jump one o'clock jump

[00:03:14] One o'clock jump one o'clock jump

[00:03:33] 30 seconds 'fore the big strike

[00:03:37] No one's riding down the turnpike

[00:03:42] Everything is turning ghostlike

[00:03:46] 60 minutes after midnite
