[00:00:00] Everyone A Puzzle Lover (LP版) - 10000 Maniacs

[00:00:01] Written by：John Lombardo

[00:00:08] Why are some men born

[00:00:10] With minds that earn degrees

[00:00:15] The loving cups

[00:00:16] Gilded plaques

[00:00:18] Grace their study walls

[00:00:20] Hide the cracks

[00:00:21] While their genius is turned

[00:00:25] To works of tyranny then

[00:00:29] Off to market to market

[00:00:31] Go selling these

[00:00:36] With words so fiery and persuasive

[00:00:40] They steal cunningly

[00:00:43] Riches no one can exceed

[00:00:47] And why are some men born

[00:00:48] With a fate of poverty

[00:00:54] One firm bed

[00:00:55] For a swollen back

[00:00:57] Year by year

[00:00:59] The bodies wracked while

[00:01:01] Their obedience is had

[00:01:05] With gradual defeat

[00:01:08] By the pace by the pace

[00:01:10] And the urgency

[00:01:16] Through a muddled thought

[00:01:17] They phrase it

[00:01:18] God knows we're deceived

[00:01:22] Barter for

[00:01:25] What they need

[00:01:29] And where they go

[00:01:32] Disdain and jeering

[00:01:36] For fools to call

[00:01:38] The noble peasantry

[00:01:43] O how it puzzles me

[00:01:52] I pressed flat the accordion pleats

[00:01:54] That had gathered in his cotton sleeves

[00:01:58] While he thumbed

[00:01:59] Yes thumbed I wouldn't say caressed

[00:02:02] The final piece

[00:02:04] A mountain's crest

[00:02:06] Soon to reply assuredly

[00:02:11] O for man aged ninety years

[00:02:16] No words to waste on sermons

[00:02:19] He'd be pleased to answer

[00:02:22] Short and sincere

[00:02:26] Girl there's a nonsense

[00:02:29] In all these heaven measures

[00:02:34] It's a heathen creed

[00:02:35] So your grandma says

[00:02:38] But better to live by

[00:02:40] Drink it all in before it's dry

[00:02:49] He ended there with a rattle

[00:02:51] Cough cough

[00:02:52] I took away the long gone cold coffee cup

[00:03:03] As a trail of camel ashes fell

[00:03:06] On the floor
