《A Singer Must Die》歌词

[00:00:00] A Singer Must Die - Leonard Cohen

[00:00:06] Now the courtroom is quiet

[00:00:09] But who will confess

[00:00:12] Is it true you betrayed us

[00:00:15] The answer is Yes

[00:00:17] Then read me the list

[00:00:20] Of the crimes that are mine

[00:00:23] I will ask for the mercy

[00:00:25] That you love to decline

[00:00:27] And all the ladies go moist

[00:00:31] And the judge has no choice

[00:00:34] A singer must die

[00:00:36] For the lie in his voice

[00:00:40] And I thank you

[00:00:42] I thank you for doing your duty

[00:00:46] You keepers of truth

[00:00:49] You guardians of beauty

[00:00:52] Your vision is right

[00:00:55] My vision is wrong

[00:00:57] I'm sorry for smudging the air

[00:01:01] With my song

[00:01:15] Oh the night it is thick

[00:01:18] My defences are hid

[00:01:21] In the clothes of a woman

[00:01:23] I would like to forgive

[00:01:27] In the rings of her silk

[00:01:30] In the hinge of her thighs

[00:01:33] Where I have to go begging

[00:01:36] In beauty's disguise

[00:01:39] Oh goodnight goodnight

[00:01:42] My night after night

[00:01:45] My night after night after night

[00:01:49] After night after night

[00:01:55] Am I so afraid that I listen to you

[00:02:02] Your sun glassed protectors

[00:02:05] They do that to you

[00:02:08] It's their ways to detain

[00:02:11] Their ways to disgrace

[00:02:14] Their knee in your balls

[00:02:16] And their fist in your face

[00:02:19] Yes and long live the state

[00:02:22] By whoever it's made

[00:02:24] Sir I didn't see nothing

[00:02:26] I was just getting home late
