《Walk Like Thunder》歌词

[00:00:00] Walk Like Thunder - Kimya Dawson (金雅·道森)

[00:00:23] I have this new tattoo of which the story must be told

[00:00:27] About the night I almost overdosed ten years ago

[00:00:34] I woke up in the hospital with skin clammy and cold

[00:00:39] And tubes in my urethra down my throat and up my nose

[00:00:44] My friends and the doctors were all shocked

[00:00:48] I wasn't dead

[00:00:50] That's when Katrina looked at me

[00:00:53] And this is what she said

[00:00:55] Walk like thunder

[00:01:01] Walk like thunder

[00:01:07] Walk like thunder

[00:01:13] Walk like thunder

[00:01:19] So I walked to the rebel spot

[00:01:22] I walked all over uptown

[00:01:25] I walked right side up and I walked upside down

[00:01:31] I walked to Chetzemoka with my eyes

[00:01:34] Fixed on the ground yeah

[00:01:37] We walked all over Chetze beach and

[00:01:40] Kept the rocks we found

[00:01:42] Then I walked back to my parents' house

[00:01:45] I walked back to my old bed yeah

[00:01:48] I walked back and I walked fast past

[00:01:51] All the voices in my head

[00:01:54] I walked with the sweats and

[00:01:57] I walked with the chills

[00:01:59] I walked in New York city and

[00:02:02] I walked in Bradford hills

[00:02:05] I walked into open mic nights and

[00:02:09] I walked into the rooms

[00:02:11] I walked feeling optimistic and

[00:02:14] I walked feeling doomed

[00:02:17] I walked with some mama's boys and

[00:02:20] I walked with some punks

[00:02:22] I walked dressed up like a rabbit

[00:02:25] I walked dressed up like a skunk

[00:02:28] I walked with some givers and

[00:02:32] I walked with some leeches

[00:02:34] I walked all by myself and

[00:02:37] I walked with the moldy peaches

[00:02:40] I walked all over the world so

[00:02:43] I could sing my songs to you

[00:02:46] And to your most desperate emails

[00:02:49] I said this is what I do

[00:02:52] I walk like thunder

[00:02:58] Walk like thunder

[00:03:04] Walk like thunder

[00:03:10] Walk like thunder

[00:03:16] But at some point I got so comfortable

[00:03:21] That I didn't even realize that

[00:03:25] I'd started to crawl

[00:03:27] That my old friend Amy died at

[00:03:30] 37 of a heart attack

[00:03:33] And I cracked cause people my age

[00:03:36] Are not supposed to die like that

[00:03:39] No no no no people my age are not

[00:03:42] Supposed to die like that

[00:03:45] He was the old manager of the sidewalk cafe

[00:03:50] That place was a second home to me

[00:03:54] It's where I learned to play

[00:03:56] And his personality really helped create a space

[00:04:02] Where a bunch of honest misfits

[00:04:05] Could all gather and feel safe

[00:04:08] He was a cynic a supporter

[00:04:11] He was crazy he was queer

[00:04:14] He'd either yell out cut the bullshit

[00:04:17] Or he'd say I'm glad you're here

[00:04:20] And it was always such an honor

[00:04:22] To have Amy on my side

[00:04:25] That's why it hit me like a

[00:04:28] Mack truck when I found out that he died

[00:04:31] Yeah it hit me like a

[00:04:33] Mack truck when I found that he died

[00:04:37] Then enter Alex 33 years old and

[00:04:41] So sick with the cancer

[00:04:43] And trapped inside a body that

[00:04:46] Betrayed his real gender

[00:04:49] We all hoped and prayed that

[00:04:51] He would go into remission

[00:04:54] At least long enough just long

[00:04:57] Enough to complete his transition

[00:05:00] He said kimya did you know eleven

[00:05:04] Teen's my favorite song

[00:05:06] I said then get your a** on stage

[00:05:09] Right now and you can sing along

[00:05:12] That's the very first song I ever

[00:05:16] Wrote all by myself

[00:05:18] It's about angels and recovery and

[00:05:21] Friends and hope and health

[00:05:24] By the time we finished singing

[00:05:27] He was pissed off he was scared

[00:05:30] He said I lost my home my lover

[00:05:33] My insurance and my hair

[00:05:36] And now I'm about to lose you too my new friend

[00:05:42] I looked into those big blue eyes

[00:05:45] And said we'll meet again

[00:05:48] Yeah I looked into his sad blue

[00:05:50] Eyes and said we'll meet again

[00:05:53] Then I got the phone call from

[00:05:55] Alyssa and she told me he was dying

[00:05:59] By the time I got to his bedside

[00:06:03] We were both already flying

[00:06:05] We held hands and we sang songs

[00:06:08] Tried to be strong floated around

[00:06:11] While I cursed the skin that he was

[00:06:14] In for all the ways it had let him down

[00:06:17] Yeah I cursed the skin that he was

[00:06:19] In for all the ways it had let him down

[00:06:22] But at the same time I was

[00:06:25] Taking my own body for granted

[00:06:29] First I lost sight of my feet

[00:06:32] Then they became unplanted

[00:06:34] And I never felt so stupid or

[00:06:37] So selfish or so sad yeah

[00:06:40] My body had been good to me and

[00:06:43] I treated it so bad yeah

[00:06:46] My body had been good to me and

[00:06:49] I treated it so bad

[00:06:51] Then he said mama

[00:06:53] I don't want my friends to watch me die

[00:06:57] So I kissed his cheek made him a

[00:07:00] Shirt and then I said goodbye

[00:07:03] And they cremated him in the shirt that I drew

[00:07:09] Of the two of us that said they're flying over you too

[00:07:15] Now the silver pink ponies

[00:07:18] Have my home in their crew

[00:07:21] So I tightened up my laces and

[00:07:24] Knew what I had to do

[00:07:26] I started walking again I started walking again

[00:07:36] I miss my friends

[00:07:38] I started walking again I started walking again

[00:07:48] I miss my friends

[00:07:50] Walk like thunder

[00:07:56] Walk like thunder

[00:08:02] Walk like thunder

[00:08:08] Walk like thunder

[00:08:14] Walk like thunder

[00:08:20] Walk like thunder

[00:08:25] Walk like thunder

[00:08:31] Walk like thunder

[00:08:37] Walk like thunder

[00:08:43] Walk like thunder

[00:08:49] Walk like thunder

[00:08:54] Walk like thunder

[00:09:01] Even creatures of habit predisposed

[00:09:04] To systematically clinging together in the cold

[00:09:07] Know the measure of a pack it's not

[00:09:08] A question of the whole

[00:09:10] But the individuals that bottleneck into the fold

[00:09:12] On a march black Sabbath

[00:09:14] News from the ministry of make

[00:09:16] Believe that reach a tarmac in Minneapolis

[00:09:18] Middle seat yesterday the cells inside his

[00:09:21] Chest were growing baby teeth

[00:09:22] Today a raven radiated vacancy

[00:09:24] Wait two years ago a friend of mine

[00:09:27] Called me to redefine all enemy kind

[00:09:30] I'm at the hospital in twenty four

[00:09:32] And no one knew the future

[00:09:33] I'll take it everybody knows the future

[00:09:35] Antibodies hatching in a Hella

[00:09:37] Back with no room to maneuver

[00:09:39] Like disappearing pills into the masticated fuchsia

[00:09:42] I asked you how you feeling you told me like a robot

[00:09:45] I gave you a Nintendo you gave yourself a Mohawk

[00:09:48] You let us wheel you down beneath

[00:09:49] The leaning tower of flow charts

[00:09:50] To be around your beats without a

[00:09:52] Beeping sound of Bogart

[00:09:54] And speak about whatever people speak about

[00:09:56] When nobody's acknowledging the obvious

[00:09:58] Disease about to crowbar in

[00:10:00] Deplane slow comatose of baggage

[00:10:03] From king of hearts to carrion for jackals

[00:10:05] And never got to sing us all his own swan song right

[00:10:08] Coincidentally the rebel in me walked like thunder

[00:10:17] Walk like thunder
