《Shell Shock Venus》歌词

[00:00:00] Shell Shock Venus - Michael Hedges

[00:00:00] Written by：Michael Hedges

[00:00:27] Shell shock venus aborted at sea

[00:00:37] Her youthful uniform torn open and free

[00:00:49] Floating where the whirlpools swirl

[00:00:54] Men came diving for her pearl

[00:01:07] They'd scour her surfaces

[00:01:12] She'd dredge up their deep

[00:01:17] In a chaotic universe shallow and sweet

[00:01:28] And as the merman hurled

[00:01:33] Woman went careening from the girl

[00:01:42] And no line of questioning

[00:01:47] Could penetrate her nerve

[00:01:52] But something was tapping her reserve

[00:02:16] Ashes of innocence splinters of dreams

[00:02:26] Her anger in residence ripping the seams

[00:02:38] And petrifying fast

[00:02:43] She anchored to that mast

[00:02:51] Through waves of ecstasy

[00:02:57] They'd compromise

[00:03:02] But something was vacant in her eyes

[00:03:28] Reptiles in water a goddess in heat

[00:03:38] We dreamt of a daughter venus and me

[00:03:50] Floating where the whirlpools swirl

[00:03:55] Men came diving for her pearl
