《A Slanted Tone》歌词

[00:00:01] A Slanted Tone - F**ked Up

[00:00:54] His voice in the sky is the sound that you hear

[00:00:57] His timbre is dim and his motives aren't clear

[00:01:00] Why does the prophet above have so much to fear

[00:01:02] Things aren't always the way they appear

[00:01:04] He's a horn with a slanted tone

[00:01:07] He's the back without the bone

[00:01:10] The king sits on a crooked throne

[00:01:12] Stuck inside of the story alone

[00:01:15] When he raised a trumpet to his mouth

[00:01:18] The sound of every voice tumbled out

[00:01:20] When he stretched the canvas into his frame

[00:01:22] He painted everyone with the same brush

[00:01:25] He has the whole world by a string

[00:01:27] And he tells the choir when to sing

[00:01:30] He's a shadow in the sky

[00:01:32] He's a horn with a slanted tone

[00:01:34] He's the back without the bone

[00:01:36] The king sits on a crooked throne

[00:01:39] Stuck inside of the story alone

[00:01:41] His description of truth has the pages torn

[00:01:44] His inscription of roses are just the thorns

[00:01:46] His scripture is ripped from the back of his hand

[00:01:49] The scribe's wish is the subject's command

[00:01:51] He's a horn with a slanted tone

[00:01:54] He's the back without the bone

[00:01:57] The king sits on a crooked throne

[00:01:59] Stuck inside of the story alone

[00:02:02] When he raised a trumpet to his mouth

[00:02:04] The sound of every voice tumbled out

[00:02:07] When he stretched the canvas into his frame

[00:02:09] He painted everyone with the same brush

[00:02:12] He has the whole world by a string

[00:02:14] And he tells the choir when to sing

[00:02:17] He's a shadow in the sky

[00:02:51] I'm witnessing things I never thought I'd see

[00:02:54] There's a darkness now I could not foresee

[00:02:56] An innocent man resigned to a plea

[00:03:02] A company in captivity by a narrator's desire

[00:03:05] To be free from the confines of an honest story

[00:03:12] It all seems so surreal but between you and me

[00:03:14] There's a light at the end of the tale

[00:03:16] So you'll see that the way things are now

[00:03:18] Aren't the way they'll always be

[00:03:19] How can I let them know the truth about Octavio

[00:03:24] That he was lying all along

[00:03:27] Don't trust the words you hear in a song
