《By the Book》歌词

[00:00:00] By the Book - Michael Penn

[00:00:02] Written by：Michael Penn

[00:00:09] Always been horseblinded

[00:00:11] Could never see

[00:00:13] Past the two shades on the periphery

[00:00:17] I ask you for mercy

[00:00:19] And beg clemency

[00:00:22] But something I'm thinking is sticking with me

[00:00:31] When you're all alone

[00:00:32] And I am not around

[00:00:35] I know that you think me

[00:00:37] As cold as the ground

[00:00:39] I don't play accordion we disagree

[00:00:44] But something I'm feeling is sticking with me

[00:00:52] If this ain't by the book then the book must be wrong

[00:00:57] And maybe it is what you hoped all along

[00:01:01] Now you didn't think I would go quietly

[00:01:06] When something about you is sticking with me

[00:01:16] This person I've been wasn't me I surmise

[00:01:21] You know me too well

[00:01:23] You'd see through a disguise

[00:01:25] Someone must have cloned a facsimile

[00:01:30] It bears repeating sticking with me

[00:01:38] They're cutting the bull

[00:01:40] And they're drinking its blood

[00:01:43] Show me a patriot

[00:01:45] Show me a scud

[00:01:47] And that's about all I can get from TV

[00:01:52] There's still this feeling sticking with me

[00:02:00] If this ain't by the book then the book must be wrong

[00:02:05] Can't we sleep in

[00:02:06] You can wake me at dawn

[00:02:09] We'll start us a regular royal dynasty

[00:02:13] So long as you are only sticking with me

[00:02:29] Sticking with me

[00:02:38] Sticking with me

[00:02:51] Sticking with me

[00:03:06] Sticking with me

[00:03:18] Sticking with me

[00:03:31] Sticking with me
