《Dirty Old Town》歌词

[00:00:00] Dirty Old Town (LP版) - David Byrne

[00:00:16] Well there are sixteen people in Danny's apartment

[00:00:21] Sixteen people are living in there

[00:00:25] Remember the days of rent control

[00:00:29] Grandpa remembers rock and roll

[00:00:33] These days won't last forever

[00:00:36] These days won't last for long

[00:00:41] You know somebody somewhere owes us a favor

[00:00:46] That's how things really get done

[00:00:49] In this world of opportunities it's a land of possibilities

[00:00:58] We wanna live in a dirty old town

[00:01:02] Building it up tearing us down

[00:01:05] With our head in the clouds and our feet on the ground

[00:01:10] We wanna live in a dirty old town

[00:01:17] Dirty old town

[00:01:30] Now when the ladies come from Kansas

[00:01:34] They wear their traditional colors

[00:01:39] Today the fabrics are ragged and torn

[00:01:43] The clothes on their backs is all that they own

[00:01:46] They say don't draw attention to yourself

[00:01:51] They'll tear you apart for a couple of bucks

[00:01:55] Keep you head down and keep you nose clean

[00:01:59] Cause people who're scared do dangerous things

[00:02:02] These days can't last forever

[00:02:06] These days can't last for long

[00:02:11] You know someday thinking's get better

[00:02:15] Somehow thinking's get done

[00:02:19] In this world of possibilities it's the land of opportunities

[00:02:28] We wanna live in a dirty old town

[00:02:32] Building it up tearing us down

[00:02:35] With our head in the clouds and our feet on the ground

[00:02:40] We wanna live in a dirty old town

[00:02:47] Dirty old town

[00:02:59] These days shoes are worn only on special occasions

[00:03:04] Battles are fought for family and nations

[00:03:08] Maybe you'll pray but god isn't home

[00:03:12] And there's no guarantee that justice be done

[00:03:18] We wanna live in a dirty old town

[00:03:22] Building it up tearing us down

[00:03:26] With our head in the clouds and our feet on the ground

[00:03:31] We wanna live in a dirty old town

[00:03:38] Dirty old town
