《Benediction》歌词

[00:00:06] Benediction - The Weakerthans

[00:00:23] So you don't get to be a saint

[00:00:28] Martyrs never last this long

[00:00:33] Guess I'll never be the one to defeat

[00:00:39] Desire in song

[00:00:43] Here's a marker here's my naked skin

[00:00:49] Our exhibit a

[00:00:53] Put a small x where I lost my way

[00:01:02] All the actors broke their legs

[00:01:07] And it's too late to postpone

[00:01:12] The producer's getting high

[00:01:17] And the audience went home

[00:01:22] Smile and take your awkward bow

[00:01:27] Turn and stumble off the stage

[00:01:32] Let the rain be your applause

[00:01:37] Every encore soothe your rage

[00:01:41] Squint with one eye hum a show tune

[00:01:45] And wait for your ride to say

[00:01:51] Oh that's where you must have lost

[00:01:55] Your way

[00:02:21] Megaphones in helicopters squeal

[00:02:27] Hey are you okay

[00:02:31] As searchlights circle where

[00:02:33] We lost our way

[00:02:41] All our accidents went purposeful and fell

[00:02:50] Stripped of providence or any way to tell

[00:03:00] That our intentions

[00:03:03] Were intangible and sweet

[00:03:10] Sick with simple math and shy discoveries

[00:03:17] Piled up against our impending defeat
