《2.99 Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] 2.99 Cent Blues - Regina Spektor (蕾吉娜·史派克特)

[00:00:07] Somewhere far away where I roam

[00:00:13] There live my buffalo twin

[00:00:16] In our twin buffalo home sweet home

[00:00:19] He take good care of my native son

[00:00:21] And he call me by my native name

[00:00:24] And he he even lets us drink

[00:00:26] Spring water on Sundays

[00:00:28] Say 2 99 2 99 a gallon

[00:00:31] 2 99 2 99 a gallon

[00:00:39] And somewhere further down the road

[00:00:42] Where I also roam

[00:00:45] There lives my caterpillar cousin

[00:00:48] Beneath a fancy engraved tomb head stone

[00:00:51] In the middle of a southern town

[00:00:54] Beneath the cemetery burial plot

[00:00:57] And he he don't pay rent no more no more

[00:00:59] But he sure likes the spot sure likes the spot

[00:01:03] Yeah sure likes the spot sure likes the spot

[00:01:07] He sure likes the spot sure likes the spot

[00:01:17] But in the furthest place I've ever known

[00:01:20] Where even I so rarely roam

[00:01:23] There lives a boy who just come back from war

[00:01:26] His flesh was wounded but he made it back home

[00:01:29] His mother calls him by his given name

[00:01:31] And the neighbors whisper

[00:01:33] How he prefers to be alone

[00:01:35] And he get he gets nightmares

[00:01:36] About boys dripping blood

[00:01:38] Sold for 2 99 2 99 a gallon

[00:01:40] C'mon just 2 99 2 99 a gallon

[00:01:44] Pay up y'all it's 2 99 2 99 a g-g-gallon

[00:01:56] But when I get me all real tired

[00:02:01] And I got no more strength to roam

[00:02:06] I catch me a horse driven carriage ride

[00:02:11] From a local man named Ethan Frome

[00:02:16] He don't say much as he tips his hat

[00:02:20] And he carries his body as heavy as lead

[00:02:26] He could have been flying

[00:02:29] Through the snow on his sled

[00:02:32] But the wife was in bed

[00:02:33] And the horses had to be fed

[00:02:37] Besides it's 2 99 2 99 a story

[00:02:41] C'mon just 2 99 2 99 a story

[00:02:45] Pay up y'all it's just 2 99 2 99 a story

[00:02:48] C'mon baby 2 99 2 99 a story

[00:02:51] C'mon ya'll it's 2 99 2 99 2 99 2 99

[00:02:54] 2 99 2 99 2 99 2 99 2 99 2 99 2 99 2 99

[00:03:01] 2 99 2 99 2 99 a story

[00:03:08] Pay up y'all it's 2 99 2 99 a story

[00:03:11] Pay up it's just 2 99 2 99 a story

[00:03:14] Your money it's just 2 99 2 99 a gallon
