《Paprika Plains》歌词

[00:00:01] Paprika plains - joni mitchell

[00:00:36] It fell from midnight skies

[00:00:41] It drummed on the galvanized

[00:00:45] In the washroom women tracked the rain

[00:00:50] Up to the make up mirror

[00:00:57] Liquid soap and grass

[00:01:00] And jungle gardenia crash

[00:01:03] On pinesol and beer

[00:01:12] Its stifling in here

[00:01:18] Ive got to get some air

[00:01:21] Im going outside to get some air

[00:01:32] Back in my hometown

[00:01:37] They would have cleared the floor

[00:01:39] Just to watch the rain come down

[00:01:48] Theyre such sky oriented people

[00:01:53] Geared to changing weather

[00:02:00] Im floating off in time

[00:02:07] Im floating off

[00:02:09] Im floating off in time

[00:02:21] When I was three feet tall

[00:02:26] And wide eyed open to it all

[00:02:30] With their tasseled teams they came

[00:02:33] To mcgees general store

[00:02:40] All in their beaded leathers

[00:02:43] I would tie on colored feathers

[00:02:47] And Id beat the drum like war

[00:02:53] I would beat the drum like war

[00:03:00] Id beat the drum

[00:03:02] Id beat the drum like war

[00:03:15] But when the church got through

[00:03:20] They traded their beads for bottles

[00:03:23] Smashedon railway avenue

[00:03:30] And they cut off their braids

[00:03:35] And lost some link with nature

[00:03:42] Im floating into dreams

[00:03:50] Im floating off

[00:03:52] Im floating into my dreams

[00:04:12] I dream paprika plains

[00:04:17] Vast and bleak and God forsaken

[00:04:23] Paprika plains

[00:04:27] And a turquoise river snaking

[00:11:57] The rain retreats

[00:11:59] Like troops to fall on other fields and streets

[00:12:04] Meanwhile theyre sweet talking and name calling

[00:12:08] And brawling on the fringes of the floor

[00:12:13] I spot you through the smoke

[00:12:16] With your eyes on fire

[00:12:18] From j&b and coke

[00:12:25] As Im coming through the door

[00:12:31] Im coming back

[00:12:33] Im coming back for more

[00:12:46] The band plugs in again

[00:12:51] You see that mirrored ball begin to sputter lights

[00:12:58] And spin

[00:13:05] Dizzy on the dancers

[00:13:09] Geared to changing rhythms

[00:13:18] No matter what you do

[00:13:26] Im floating back

[00:13:28] Im floating back to you
