《Salt Lake City 1973》歌词

[00:00:00] Salt Lake City 1973 - Shawn Mullins

[00:00:13] Mormon's are everwhere

[00:00:14] Battalions of bicycling bachelors

[00:00:16] With dark suits

[00:00:17] And well cropped hair

[00:00:18] We're mormons too

[00:00:18] Have been since '72

[00:00:20] I'm riding between my brother and sister

[00:00:22] In the back seat of a '67 buick station wagon

[00:00:24] With red vinyl seats

[00:00:25] We stick by each other

[00:00:27] And to those seats

[00:00:28] We've been eating cheese and bacon sandwiches

[00:00:30] Our mother made for thirteen days straight in the august heat

[00:00:35] And both my siblings are wakin' on those eggshells

[00:00:36] As i will soon learn how to do myself

[00:00:38] They play their quiet silly games

[00:00:40] With their peashooters

[00:00:41] As i sip luke-warm sprite from a tin can

[00:00:43] Sold to me by a hunchback silly bastard old woman

[00:00:44] A hundred miles back

[00:00:47] Who is probably the only person with good sense

[00:00:49] In this part of the country

[00:00:50] I still don't know what to do god-awful bacon and cheese sandwich

[00:00:53] But your body is your temple

[00:00:55] God tells us so

[00:00:56] So drink up your milk

[00:00:57] And reap what you sow

[00:00:58] I mold the cheese and bacon sandwich into a ball in my hand

[00:01:00] It kind of reminds me of play-dough

[00:01:02] I look around to see who is watchin'

[00:01:04] And stuff it between the red vinyl seats

[00:01:06] No one will find it

[00:01:07] At least not for a couple of weeks

[00:01:09] We're in this big place now

[00:01:11] It's kind of like 1/2 of an blue plastic easter egg shell

[00:01:13] And there's a hole in the top

[00:01:15] Where the sun cuts through

[00:01:17] And lights up the room

[00:01:18] And i hear all these male voices

[00:01:19] Telling me that black people are inferior

[00:01:20] And it's ok to have more than one wife

[00:01:23] And as the dry dry breath of the utah sun warms me

[00:01:26] I stand before a statue of jesus that is far too big

[00:01:30] And has held these folks hostage for so so long

[00:01:32] And i gaze up at the nostrils of the sandstone savior

[00:01:36] And wonder if it

[00:01:37] Can smell all this bullshit

[00:01:39] Cause i sure can

[00:01:41] And i'm only 5 years old

[00:01:42] In salt lake city

[00:01:43] In 1973
