《Birdland(Live)》歌词

[00:00:01] Birdland - Patti Smith

[00:00:25] His father died and left him a little farm in New England

[00:00:32] All the long black funeral cars left the scene

[00:00:34] And the boy was just standing there alone

[00:00:37] Looking at the shiny red tractor

[00:00:40] Him and his daddy used to sit inside

[00:00:43] And circle the blue fields and grease the night

[00:00:49] It was if someone had spread butter on all the fine points of the stars

[00:00:52] ＇Cause when he looked up slip they started to

[00:00:56] Then he put his head in the crux of his arm

[00:00:58] And he started to drift drift to the belly of a ship

[00:01:11] Let the ship slide open and he went inside of it

[00:01:22] And saw his daddy ＇hind the control board streamin＇ beads of light

[00:01:33] He saw his daddy ＇hind the control board

[00:01:40] And he was very different tonight

[00:01:44] ＇Cause he was not human he was not human

[00:02:08] And then the little boy＇s face lit up with such naked joy

[00:02:12] That the sun burned around his lids

[00:02:14] And his eyes were like two suns

[00:02:18] White lids white opals seeing everything just a little bit too clearly

[00:02:22] And he looked around and there was no black ship in sight

[00:02:25] No black funeral cars nothing except for him the raven

[00:02:30] And fell on his knees and looked up and cried out

[00:02:35] “No daddy don＇t leave me here alone

[00:02:44] Take me up daddy to the belly of your ship

[00:02:55] Let the ship slide open and I＇ll go inside of it

[00:03:05] Where you＇re not human you are not human ”

[00:03:27] But nobody heard the boy＇s cry of alarm

[00:03:38] Nobody there ＇cept for the birds around the New England farm

[00:03:43] And they gathered in all directions like roses they scattered

[00:03:46] And they were like compass grass coming together

[00:03:50] Into the head of a shaman bouquet

[00:03:53] Slit in his nose and all the others went shooting

[00:03:58] And he saw the lights of traffic beckoning like the hands of Blake

[00:04:03] Grabbing at his cheeks taking out his neck

[00:04:06] All his limbs everything was twisted and he said

[00:04:10] “I won＇t give up won＇t give up don＇t let me give up

[00:04:13] I won＇t give up come here let me go up fast

[00:04:17] Take me up quick take me up up to the belly of a ship

[00:04:28] And the ship slides open

[00:04:33] And I go inside of it where I am not human ”

[00:04:49] I am helium raven and this movie is mine

[00:04:53] So he cried out as he stretched the sky

[00:04:57] Pushing it all out like latex cartoon

[00:04:59] Am I all alone in this generation

[00:05:02] We＇ll just be dreaming of animation night and day

[00:05:07] And won＇t let up won＇t let up and I see them coming in

[00:05:12] Oh I couldn＇t hear them before but I hear ＇em now

[00:05:15] It＇s a radar scope in all silver and all platinum lights

[00:05:21] Moving in like black ships they were moving in streams of them

[00:05:26] And he put up his hands and he said “It＇s me it＇s me

[00:05:30] I＇ll give you my eyes take me up oh now please take me up

[00:05:35] I＇m helium raven waitin＇ for you please take me up

[00:05:40] Don＇t let me here ” the son the sign the cross

[00:05:45] Like the shape of a tortured woman

[00:05:48] The true shape of a tortured woman

[00:05:50] The mother standing in the doorway letting her sons

[00:05:53] No longer presidents but prophets

[00:05:57] They＇re all dreaming they＇re gonna bear the prophet

[00:05:59] He＇s gonna run through the fields dreaming in animation

[00:06:01] It＇s all gonna split his skull

[00:06:04] It＇s gonna come out like a black bouquet shining

[00:06:06] Like a fist that＇s gonna shoot them up

[00:06:09] Like light like Mohammed Boxer

[00:06:10] Take them up up up up up up

[00:06:13] Oh let＇s go up up take me up I＇ll go up

[00:06:17] I＇m going up I＇m going up

[00:06:19] Take me up I＇m going up I＇ll go up there

[00:06:21] Go up go up go up go up up up up up up up

[00:06:25] Up up to the belly of a ship

[00:06:32] Let the ship slide open and we＇ll go inside of it

[00:06:42] Where we are not human we＇re not human

[00:07:10] Well there was sand there were tiles

[00:07:16] The sun had melted the sand and it coagulated

[00:07:20] Like a river of glass

[00:07:24] When it hardened he looked at the surface

[00:07:28] He saw his face

[00:07:29] And where there were eyes were just two white opals

[00:07:33] Two white opals

[00:07:34] Where there were eyes there were just two white opals

[00:07:37] And he looked up and the rays shot

[00:07:40] And he saw raven comin＇ in

[00:07:49] And he crawled on his back and he went up

[00:07:55] Up up up up up up

[00:08:05] Sha da do wop da shaman do way

[00:08:14] Sha da do wop da shaman do way

[00:08:27] Sha da do wop da shaman do way

[00:08:37] Sha da do wop da shaman do way

[00:08:48] Sha da do wop da shaman do way

[00:08:58] We like birdland
