《Old Man Perez》歌词

[00:04:18] And when you hear this song

[00:04:18] Measure you in years

[00:04:18] Will the fingers of the blind

[00:04:18] Find pleasure in your tears

[00:04:18] Falling from your face

[00:04:18] The way it wets your cheeks

[00:04:18] And rests upon your lips

[00:04:18] With this salty taste you speak

[00:04:18] And those words form grounds

[00:04:18] The pressure to exist in a world, with no one around

[00:04:18] Is it the fear of a man or the fear of these mirrors and hammers

[00:04:18] Falling down, I am old man perez, I am as cold as any hand in death

[00:04:18] I am what is left, a smile made of lead, a palladiums head

[00:04:18] A small pile of geraniums red as the earth now thrown

[00:04:18] The surface now grown into the fleshy remains of roots, now shown

[00:04:18] She's all covered, I'm uncovered, in the science of sleep, the two, become lovers

[00:04:18] As sparrows do, defining beauty in the order of life, if Camus knew, if Jean-Paul saw

[00:04:18] In a room with no exit, you are beyond the walls

[00:04:18] I'm searching for a face

[00:04:18] In the sweating of the stones

[00:04:18] Who robbed me of my faith

[00:04:18] And said I'm better off alone

[00:04:18] A writer gets away

[00:04:18] A character set free

[00:04:18] Though everything I am

[00:04:18] Says he was better with Marie

[00:04:18] But who knows maybe we're just too young

[00:04:18] To young at heart

[00:04:18] So we go back to where we're from

[00:04:18] To gain our start

[00:04:18] Now she and I are the same, left to our eyes in the rain

[00:04:18] Left to despise why we came, left to the mind I am Cain

[00:04:18] Able is my will to survive it again, and yet I do

[00:04:18] If I never hear a yes I do, kept by you, I am but a trade, I am just business

[00:04:18] The patron Saint of lost interests, like the bike you rode, in the street light left

[00:04:18] Behind when the time got old I am just a taste the face that you took and forgot

[00:04:18] In a space full of books

[00:04:18] And I am not the hook to a song, I have no looks

[00:04:18] I do not play a long

[00:04:18] My home, my bone and marrow, I am alone, I am the only sparrow

[00:04:18] Frightened by the moon

[00:04:18] The silence of it all

[00:04:18] It lightens up your room

[00:04:18] The nightingale she calls

[00:04:18] Passing through the sky

[00:04:18] Reminding you to sleep

[00:04:18] The world is full of guise

[00:04:18] Victory defeat

[00:04:18] Victory defeat

[00:04:18] Victory defeat

[00:04:18] Victory defeat

[00:04:18] I am the stranger now

[00:04:18] And times are stranger now

[00:04:18] And I'm your stranger now

[00:04:18] And I'm the stranger
