《Brilliant Mistake》歌词

[00:00:00] Brilliant Mistake - Rhett Miller/Jon Brion

[00:00:08] He thought he was the King of America

[00:00:12] Where they pour Coca Cola

[00:00:13] Just like vintage wine

[00:00:15] Now I try hard not

[00:00:16] To become hysterical

[00:00:18] But I'm not sure

[00:00:20] If I am laughing or crying

[00:00:22] I wish that I could push a button

[00:00:25] And talk in the past

[00:00:26] And not the present tense

[00:00:30] And watch this hurtin' feeling

[00:00:32] Disappear like it was common sense

[00:00:37] It was a fine idea at the time

[00:00:41] Now it's a brilliant mistake

[00:00:52] She said that she was

[00:00:53] Working for the ABC News

[00:00:55] It was as much of the alphabet

[00:00:57] As she knew how to use

[00:00:59] Her perfume was unspeakable

[00:01:01] It lingered in the air

[00:01:02] Like her artificial laughter

[00:01:04] Her mementos of affairs

[00:01:06] "Oh" I said "I see you know him

[00:01:08] Isn't that very fortunate for you"

[00:01:13] And she showed me his calling card

[00:01:15] He came third or fourth

[00:01:16] And there were more than one or two

[00:01:21] He was a fine idea at this time

[00:01:24] Now he's a brilliant mistake

[00:01:37] He thought he was the King

[00:01:39] Of America

[00:01:41] But it was just a boulevard

[00:01:43] Of broken dreams

[00:01:45] A trick they do with mirrors

[00:01:46] And with chemicals

[00:01:48] The words of love in whispers

[00:01:50] And the acts of love in screams

[00:01:52] I wish that I could push a button

[00:01:54] And talk in the past

[00:01:55] And not the present tense

[00:01:59] And watch this lovin' feeling

[00:02:01] Disappear like it was common sense

[00:02:06] I was a fine idea at the time

[00:02:09] Now I'm a brilliant mistake

[00:02:14] I was a fine idea at the time

[00:02:17] Now I'm a brilliant mistake
