《The Hole in Your Roof》歌词

[00:00:00] The Hole In Your Roof--- Augie March

[00:01:20] What do the men say

[00:01:23] To the women when they lay down at night

[00:01:27] All naked of arms from the old imagined fight

[00:01:35] And how do the women hear

[00:01:38] In kind and in likeness of light -

[00:01:42] ＂In kindness you needn＇t and neither do I

[00:01:46] We are both of us capable of flight＂

[00:01:50] And as if to give proof

[00:01:52] She jumped through the hole in the roof

[00:02:04] What did the condemned say

[00:02:07] To the blessed when they met on the path

[00:02:11] ＂O you take the low road and I＇ll take the high for a laugh

[00:02:19] (but if I＇m laughing now it＇s because I＇ve a gentle heart)＂

[00:02:26] And because it was true

[00:02:29] He slipped through the hole in the roof

[00:03:03] La la la la

[00:03:06] La la la la la la

[00:03:10] From above your head a thing can be read that you＇re thinking

[00:03:17] What the secretaries sing and the CEO＇s bark in the bars -

[00:03:22] What do the dead say

[00:03:27] ＂With your heads all on backwards

[00:03:31] You can＇t see in front for what near behind you lies＂

[00:03:36] ＂Well show us some help then

[00:03:39] Above your head let it flicker the light

[00:03:43] These ones that I＇m with

[00:03:45] Have not learned to forgive your necessary alibis -

[00:03:51] When they made you love money

[00:03:53] And the poor prophet＇s stock

[00:03:58] When they poisoned the watersheds

[00:04:01] And fashioned our arrowheads

[00:04:03] From the deep forbidden rock

[00:04:04] O but did you see what people do

[00:04:10] And when you saw it you did it too

[00:04:14] Now all your children are twice the size of you

[00:04:19] And they come in at night through

[00:04:21] The hole in your roof

[00:04:25] The hole in your roof

[00:04:29] The hole in your roof

[00:04:32] The hole in your roof
