《Periphery Waltz》歌词

[00:00:00] Periphery Waltz - Jolie Holland

[00:00:29] When the supreme authorities of our culture

[00:00:37] Tell us to get down on our knees

[00:00:40] And beg for salvation from some divinity

[00:00:49] Is it any wonder there are people

[00:00:54] Begging on the street for salvation from poverty

[00:01:03] Well it's no surprise to me it's no surprise to me

[00:01:15] I left my home in the church

[00:01:19] I left my home in the suburbs to wander

[00:01:28] I did it all for my dreams and the star

[00:01:33] That I followed fell from the periphery

[00:01:41] And the street lights slipping down

[00:01:44] My windshield fell like falling stars

[00:01:53] Down a dark country road

[00:01:56] I first left my home when I was seventeen

[00:02:04] And I paid my respects to my fellow rejects

[00:02:10] But I tended to wander alone like I was listening

[00:02:19] To the words of a song whispered soft and low

[00:02:28] It's kind of like dancing

[00:02:32] It's kind of like losing your mind

[00:02:40] And I've often considered

[00:02:44] The impractibility of my life

[00:02:52] And the moon behind the clouds is ill defined

[00:03:04] I got lost so many times but I could not

[00:03:12] Be consigned to a fate of obsolescence

[00:03:22] And decline so I'll take the chance again

[00:03:34] And the mockingbird is my friend

[00:03:40] When he sings a song in the warm midnight wind

[00:03:51] So I'll follow my old tune and I'll wish you good morning
