《Twilight Of A Champion》歌词

[00:00:04] Twilight Of A Champion-the the

[00:00:17] The rising moon faces the sickening sun

[00:00:20] As the lights in the tower blocks go on one by one

[00:00:25] A big shot overlooking this black iron skyline--

[00:00:29] Surrounded by his symbols of prosperity--

[00:00:34] Sits back in his new leather chair

[00:00:37] Ripped off the back of some unfortunate beast

[00:00:39] I'm smiling through my teeth

[00:00:44] Anybody can be a millionaire

[00:00:46] So everybody's gotta try

[00:00:48] But by the laws of this human jungle

[00:00:50] Only the heartless will survive

[00:00:53] & down there--but for the grace of god

[00:01:00] --go I

[00:01:15] The smoke & the steam & the broken down dreams

[00:01:19] The hope & the hunger frustration & anger

[00:01:24] The little drunken lives --

[00:01:26] Driven' through the traffic lights

[00:01:29] & away from who they are

[00:01:33] But I've been thinking of you--

[00:01:37] In this great city of great solitude

[00:01:41] Crossin' the central reservation of my imagination

[00:01:52] Searchin' for the world I left behind

[00:01:56] A shadow hunting shadows of childhood life

[00:02:01] It's all I want--& all I miss--

[00:02:05] But how can I return to a place that don't exist

[00:02:09] From Mombosa to Miami Beiruit to Bangladesh

[00:02:29] I've flown around the world standing

[00:02:30] On the wing of a jet

[00:02:32] Tryin' to salvage my emotions

[00:02:33] From the bottom of the oceans--

[00:02:46] Y'see I sold my soul to pay for my dinner

[00:02:51] My stomach grew fatter but my heart grew thinner

[00:02:55] I ain't foolin' I'm fallin' I wasn't wicked just weak

[00:03:01] I ain't lyin' I'm dyin' crippled by deceit--

[00:03:24] Oh the hand that wrote the agony

[00:03:25] Has just begun--

[00:03:26] Will be the hand that pulls the trigger

[00:03:46] --of this gun
