《See a Friend in Tears》歌词

[00:00:00] See A Friend In Tears* - Momus

[00:00:15] So men are still at war in ireland

[00:00:22] For certain songs and certain dates

[00:00:30] The tender gave way to the firebrand

[00:00:37] And europe gave way to the states

[00:00:43] So now that money's all but scentless

[00:00:51] Noses and consciences are clear

[00:00:58] The pointless flowers can be dispensed with

[00:01:06] But see a friend in tears

[00:01:13] So our defeats are just reminders

[00:01:20] Of death that waits behind it all

[00:01:28] The body wilts before the mind does

[00:01:34] Surprised to see how soon it falls

[00:01:41] It's true our women have deceived us

[00:01:48] All hunted species disappear

[00:01:56] It's true we've shot the golden eagles

[00:02:03] But see a friend in tears

[00:02:10] It's true our cities are exhausted

[00:02:17] Made by and for the middle aged

[00:02:25] Our weakness gave them more than force did

[00:02:31] We thought that love could cure a toothache

[00:02:39] And in the underground we're drowning

[00:02:46] Accelerating through the years

[00:02:53] You who think you'll find the truth by frowning

[00:03:00] See a friend in tears

[00:03:08] It's true our mirrors don't show heroes

[00:03:15] We lack the courage to be jews

[00:03:23] Without the elegance of negroes

[00:03:30] With our youthful fireworks all defused

[00:03:37] And all these men who are our brothers

[00:03:44] Wonder why we don't want to hear

[00:03:51] How their worst enemies are their lovers

[00:03:59] See a friend in tears
