《Harps And Angels》歌词

[00:00:00] Harps And Angels - Randy Newman (兰迪·纽曼)

[00:00:12] Hasn't anybody seen me lately

[00:00:15] I'll tell you why

[00:00:21] Hasn't anybody seen me lately

[00:00:25] I'll tell you why

[00:00:31] I caught something made me so sick

[00:00:34] That I thought that I would die

[00:00:37] And I almost did too

[00:00:40] First me knees begin to tremble

[00:00:44] My heart begin to pound

[00:00:50] First my knees begin to tremble

[00:00:54] My heart begin to pound

[00:00:57] It was arrhythmic and out of tune

[00:01:02] I lost my equilibrium

[00:01:05] And fell face down upon the ground

[00:01:12] As I lay there on that cold pavement

[00:01:15] A tear ran down my face

[00:01:18] 'Cause I thought I was dying

[00:01:21] You boys know I'm not a religious man

[00:01:24] But I sent a prayer out just in case

[00:01:28] You never know

[00:01:31] Lo and behold almost immediately

[00:01:33] I had reason to believe my prayer had

[00:01:35] Been heard in a very special place

[00:01:38] 'Cause I heard this sound

[00:01:43] Yes

[00:01:49] Yes it was harps and angels

[00:01:53] Harps and angels coming near

[00:01:58] I was to sick to roll over and see them

[00:02:00] But I could hear them singin ever so beautifully

[00:02:02] In my ear

[00:02:06] Then the sound began to subside

[00:02:08] And they sounded like background singers

[00:02:10] And a voice come down from the heavens above

[00:02:14] It was a voice full of anger from the Old Testament

[00:02:18] And a voice full of love from the New One

[00:02:20] And the street lit up like it was the middle of the day

[00:02:25] And I lay there quiet and listened to what that

[00:02:26] Voice had to say

[00:02:28] He said "You ain't ben a good man

[00:02:33] You ain't been a bad man

[00:02:36] But you've been pretty bad

[00:02:40] Lucky for you this ain't your time

[00:02:44] Someone very dear to me has made another clerical error

[00:02:48] And we're here on a bit of a wild goose chase

[00:02:51] But I want to tell you a few things

[00:02:53] That'll hold you in good stead when it is your time

[00:02:55] So you better listen close

[00:02:56] I'm only going to say this once

[00:02:59] When they lay you on the table

[00:03:02] Better keep your bussines clean

[00:03:08] 'Fore they lay you on the table

[00:03:12] Better keep your business clean

[00:03:18] Don't want no back stabbing a** grabbing

[00:03:20] You know exactly what I mean

[00:03:24] Alright girls - we're outta here"

[00:03:31] "Encore Encore "

[00:03:33] (He spoke French)

[00:03:36] "Tres bien Encore"

[00:03:41] And off they went into the night

[00:03:45] Almost immediately I felt better

[00:03:47] And I come round to see you boys

[00:03:49] 'Cause you know we ain't living right

[00:03:50] And while it was fresh

[00:03:52] I wanted to tell you what he told me

[00:03:55] He said "When the lay you on the table

[00:03:59] Better keep your business clean

[00:04:06] When they lay you on the table

[00:04:09] Better keep your business clean

[00:04:15] Else there won't be no harps and angels

[00:04:17] Coming for you

[00:04:19] It'll be trombones kettle drums pitchforks

[00:04:21] And tambourines "

[00:04:24] Sing it like they did for me one time

[00:04:29] Yes

[00:04:32] Beautiful

[00:04:33] Wish I spoke French

[00:04:38] So actually the main thing about this story is for me

[00:04:45] There really is an afterlife

[00:04:48] And I hope to see all of you there

[00:04:54] Let's go get a drink
