《Civilians》歌词

[00:00:21] The carriage horses stamp and fume

[00:00:26] Until all color's gone

[00:00:32] They leave the street in black and white

[00:00:36] And bring the eventing coming on

[00:00:41] Lovers tug their way out of gloves

[00:00:45] Out of shoes and gray chiffon

[00:00:51] The driver pulls his blanket high

[00:00:56] And pretends to look beyond

[00:01:01] Pray for you pray for me

[00:01:06] Sing it like a song

[00:01:11] Life is sort but by the grace of God

[00:01:16] This night is long

[00:01:25] Girls crowd into bathroom stalls

[00:01:30] The boys smoke in their cars

[00:01:35] The general he's in civilian clothes

[00:01:40] Standing at the bar

[00:01:45] He waves to the deaf flower lady

[00:01:48] Come sit by me sweetheart

[00:01:55] He draws a napkin battle plan

[00:01:59] Says this is where we start

[00:02:04] Oh pray for you pray for me

[00:02:09] Sing it like a song

[00:02:14] Life is sort but by the grace of God

[00:02:19] The night is long

[00:02:24] There are no more hummingbirds

[00:02:29] Like there used to be

[00:02:33] They're fat and slow and careless now

[00:02:38] They've turned blue and mean

[00:02:43] And the parrots sound like monkeys

[00:02:48] Screamin' from the trees

[00:02:53] As the decent people

[00:02:57] Fumble for their keys

[00:03:02] We used to spend the night in town

[00:03:07] Down by the City Hall

[00:03:12] And the water works of Irish Beach

[00:03:17] Just below the falls

[00:03:22] We'd walk down to the Park Hotel

[00:03:26] Past the Baptist Veteran's Mall

[00:03:31] Back then a man in uniform

[00:03:36] Might mean anything at all

[00:03:40] Oh pray for you pray for me

[00:03:46] Sing it like a song

[00:03:51] Life is short but by the grace

[00:03:55] Oh God the night is long

[00:04:01] Pray for you pray for me

[00:04:05] Sing it like a song

[00:04:10] Life is short but by the grace or cruel

[00:04:14] Heart of God the night is long
