《We Are People Here. We Are Not Numbers》歌词

[00:00:00] We Are People Here. We Are Not Numbers - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)

[00:00:02] In the infancy of our relationship

[00:00:07] When we were almost exclusively hanging out

[00:00:15] Together with friends

[00:00:18] Cathy and I went to ST John's apple fest

[00:00:26] It was held every fall in the parking lot of the Catholic Church

[00:00:34] I had attended as a youth

[00:00:41] Converting the quarter mile of parish grounds into a second rate carnival

[00:00:56] Full of cheap thrills and poorly maintained rides

[00:01:05] We meandered through the crowds

[00:01:10] Like tourists

[00:01:13] Eventually ending up at the pirate ship at the far end of the fair

[00:01:30] A mechanical boat that rose into the sky

[00:01:39] Then swooped back down in the other direction like a swallow diving for insects

[00:01:52] Cathy was nervous and began to fidget refusing to get in line

[00:02:04] Before our friends and I talked her into going

[00:02:11] When the ride started

[00:02:13] Any romantic idea I had of holding hands or an embrace

[00:02:22] Was quickly abandoned when I saw the white knuckled grip on the safety rail

[00:02:31] Like she feared for her life
