《The Miranda Syndrome》歌词

[00:00:00] The Miranda Syndrome - Ruben Blades (鲁本·布雷德斯)

[00:00:08] She threw good money after bad

[00:00:12] She bought a ticket to America a cocacola and a magazine

[00:00:21] But in the final reel she knew she'd see justice

[00:00:28] Her brother stayed and played the town

[00:00:32] He's holding up a bank like harpo marx

[00:00:38] He's saying if I walk away right now

[00:00:41] These walls will fall down

[00:00:43] Not too many people remember that joke now

[00:00:50] But in an office without windows they declared the world was flat

[00:00:59] And decided to create a fool for the world would believe that

[00:01:08] All for a song and dance and an edible hat

[00:01:14] Carmen miranda won't you come home

[00:01:23] Carmen miranda won't you come home

[00:01:30] Won't you come home

[00:01:37] And when the picture house closed down

[00:01:42] There was a porno shop now that is gone

[00:01:47] And all the things that once belonged to you belong to everyone

[00:01:54] They know the foolish way she looked

[00:01:59] They say why don't you speak the way she spoke

[00:02:05] That's when I give the punchline to an old national joke

[00:02:14] If you're a police dog where's your police badge

[00:02:18] And if you're a cowboy where's your spurs

[00:02:23] If you're an oilman where's your oil well

[00:02:28] You know the ones marked his and hers

[00:02:31] She wasn't the only one fooled by a hollywood word

[00:02:37] Carmen miranda won't you come home

[00:02:46] Carmen miranda won't you come home

[00:02:53] Won't you come home

[00:03:01] And now the weatherman predicts

[00:03:06] That if it rains he'll blow his brains right on the air

[00:03:12] So you all decide to tune in though

[00:03:14] You don't know if you care

[00:03:18] For now the news is just showbiz

[00:03:23] They make a trivial case of every curse

[00:03:29] And food is just like cabaret and vice versa

[00:03:38] But in an office without windows they declared the world was flat

[00:03:47] And decided to create a fool for the world would believe that

[00:03:55] All for a song and dance and an edible hat

[00:04:01] Carmen miranda won't you come home

[00:04:10] Carmen miranda won't you come home

[00:04:19] Carmen miranda won't you come home

[00:04:28] Carmen miranda won't you come home

[00:04:37] Carmen miranda won't you come home
