《Manzanar》歌词

[00:00:00] Manzanar - Van Dyke Parks

[00:00:32] Noone can forget the place where she has gone away

[00:00:38] Funny how regret can taste like honey in L A anyway

[00:00:43] All the trees ornamental

[00:00:46] Every breeze downright sentimental

[00:00:51] No one can forget her face when she has gone away

[00:00:57] Let a bungalow and yard fulfill your every need

[00:01:02] Get a Romeo and garden all but gone to seed as they say

[00:01:08] Every swallow returning

[00:01:10] Just to follow a natural yearning

[00:01:16] It is just a paper chase when she has gone away

[00:01:39] What the heck I've hit the deck and checked romance on holiday

[00:01:44] Drawn a breath and danced with death

[00:01:46] Until the dawn had held it at bay

[00:01:49] Watched the palms by the sea sway

[00:01:53] In the arms of beautiful Nissei

[00:01:59] Now I can't forget her face since she has gone away

[00:02:20] Manzanar not the kind of girl to hit the street

[00:02:25] Manzanar she is dancin to a brand new beat

[00:02:50] Don't know me from Ansel Adams 'cause I'm from Los Angeles

[00:02:55] Would've called her but was at a loss

[00:02:57] For what to say just to please

[00:03:01] When it gets right down there to the wire

[00:03:03] When you're reeling and feel her desire

[00:03:11] Tell her she is All-American in Japanese

[00:03:17] This is a dump without a doubt

[00:03:19] You gotta jump you wanna shout

[00:03:22] And it is sump thin you got out

[00:03:25] Manzanar

[00:03:28] You are not warm a desert storm

[00:03:31] And where the High Sierra hits the flyway

[00:03:35] You are alone you will explode

[00:03:38] To Arizone you hit the road

[00:03:40] Next sound you hear is pounding down the highway

[00:03:44] Like a man without a nation

[00:03:50] In a camp of concentration

[00:03:56] With a stamp of degredation and shame

[00:04:02] To a place they call it Manzanar by name

[00:04:12] You are awake an evening star

[00:04:14] All you can take is makin out just where you are

[00:04:19] There's a name to explore there

[00:04:22] And a story of shame and war there

[00:04:26] In Manzanar in Manzanar

[00:04:39] Manzanar
