《No City》歌词

[00:00:00] No City - Aesop Rock

[00:00:00] For want of a nail the shoe was lost

[00:00:03] For want of a shoe the horse was lost

[00:00:06] For want of a horse the rider was lost

[00:00:09] For want of a rider the battle was lost

[00:00:13] For want of a battle the kingdom was lost

[00:00:17] And all for the want of a horse shoe nail

[00:00:26] There is a hole in front of the shovel

[00:00:28] Shovel in front of the brawn

[00:00:29] Six billion gorillas for whom the graves yawn

[00:00:33] Each withered his mule-ish days to choose his tool of trade

[00:00:36] Dueling blades that cue the cruel charade and fuel the flames

[00:00:39] If you would clue the crew into the civil

[00:00:42] Just get the food and

[00:00:43] Land like you the man who flew the coop over the pit-bulls

[00:00:46] Dash back flashy to compassionate nano police

[00:00:49] Sat beneath an avalanche and jagged inadequacies

[00:00:52] And I would stop the violence more than I was Pontius Pilate

[00:00:55] Cops and robbers riot by the vows of noxious sirens

[00:00:59] A is gullible he figure all man equal no brainer

[00:01:02] Take it his friends and neighbors didn't cater

[00:01:05] Moms raised the babies through a very church-y eighties

[00:01:08] Sunday mornings reinforced the waiting gates of Hades

[00:01:11] And he brazen but apparently inferno bound now

[00:01:15] For when a man of cloth recite his wrongs he wouldn't bow down

[00:01:18] The punishment should fit the reasons you must punish him

[00:01:21] Never puncture skin or pull the colored rugs from under them

[00:01:24] Two opposing mother ships shall not employ the gunner's deck

[00:01:28] Cause brotherhoods of public good do not employ the unctuous in you

[00:01:31] Observing how the giveth is disproportionate to the taketh away decide to maketh his day

[00:01:37] All the stoic odium glowing a coal holster

[00:01:40] When he coulda stood easily in the tub juggling toasters

[00:01:44] No mountain too high

[00:01:45] No city too far

[00:01:47] No coma tonight

[00:01:49] No city tomorrow

[00:01:51] No fire too live

[00:01:52] No city too charred

[00:01:54] No treaty to sign

[00:01:55] No city to guard

[00:02:23] I pick the phone up with a grown-up mode approach

[00:02:26] Skin crawlin off the drawl and

[00:02:27] Now it clawed the awkward tone up

[00:02:29] I'd known it wasn't roses but hoped it was less corrosive

[00:02:32] Coast in to the focus of the grossest diagnosis like

[00:02:36] Holmes the barnacles that chew upon the flesh of man

[00:02:39] Have clued into suitor as capital to a beggars hand

[00:02:42] Comfortably sung a stubborn legacy of gluttony

[00:02:45] With carnivores that burrow like hunters into the blood and meat

[00:02:49] Umm what

[00:02:50] The Jenny chin up and the city picked her sinning pen up let her numb the spitting stigma

[00:02:55] Along came a spider sold her eggs to any buyer

[00:02:58] Now the shooter in back is six legs wider than the driver

[00:03:02] If you make no friends on the way to the top rung

[00:03:05] There is no secret handshake club I do not give a f**k

[00:03:08] But know the cancers make the olive branches obviously standard

[00:03:11] So when they extend from the yachts and mansions drop your cannons

[00:03:15] All kings hang em for the cliff side drip dry

[00:03:18] Will he clip to zip line or slip for his final dip dive

[00:03:21] If he live will he survive the milligrams of middle ground

[00:03:25] They pump into the pinstripe pentagrams over tinsel town

[00:03:28] Or kill a man who trickled down the city with his scissors out as sickles

[00:03:32] Dipped in military hells bells and whistles

[00:03:35] Riders to the east

[00:03:35] Now the wild tribes

[00:03:37] Thank you for the peace on earth and mercy mild high

[00:03:41] No mountain too high

[00:03:42] No city too far

[00:03:44] No coma tonight

[00:03:45] No city tomorrow

[00:03:47] No fire too live

[00:03:49] No city too charred

[00:03:50] No treaty to sign

[00:03:52] No city to guard

[00:03:54] And all for the want of a horse shoe nail
