《The Blue Mask》歌词

[00:00:02] The Blue Mask - Lou Reed

[00:01:35] They tied his arms behind his back

[00:01:38] To teach him how to swim

[00:01:41] They put blood in his coffee

[00:01:44] And milk in his gin

[00:01:47] They stood over the soldier

[00:01:49] In the midst of the squalor

[00:01:53] There was war in his body

[00:01:55] And it caused his brain to holler

[00:01:59] Make the sacrifice

[00:02:01] Mutilate my face

[00:02:03] If you need someone to kill

[00:02:06] Im a man without a will

[00:02:08] Wash the razor in the rain

[00:02:11] Let me luxuriate in pain

[00:02:13] Please dont set me free

[00:02:16] Death means a lot to me

[00:02:20] The pain was lean and it made him scream

[00:02:22] He knew he was alive

[00:02:25] He put a pin through the nipples on his chest

[00:02:28] He thought he was a saint

[00:02:30] Ive made love to my mother killed my father and brother

[00:02:33] What am I to do

[00:02:36] When a sin goes too far its like a runaway car

[00:02:38] It cannot be controlled

[00:02:42] Spit upon his face and scream

[00:02:44] Theres no oedipus today

[00:02:47] This is no play youre thinking you are in

[00:02:50] What will you say

[00:02:53] Take the blue mask down from my face

[00:02:55] And look me in the eye

[00:02:58] I get a thrill from punishment

[00:03:01] Ive always been that way

[00:03:04] I loathe and despise repentance

[00:03:06] You are permanently stained

[00:03:09] Your weakness buys indifference

[00:03:12] And indiscretion in the streets

[00:03:15] Dirtys what you are and clean is what youre not

[00:03:17] You deserve to be soundly beat

[00:03:21] Make the sacrifice

[00:03:24] Take it all the way

[00:03:26] Theres no wont high enough

[00:03:28] To stop this desperate day

[00:03:31] Dont take death away

[00:03:33] Cut the finger at the joint

[00:03:36] Cut the stallion at his mount

[00:03:38] And stuff it in his mouth
