《The Torch Singer》歌词

[00:00:00] The Torch Singer (LP版) - John Prine

[00:00:00] The night club

[00:00:01] Was burning

[00:00:04] From the torch

[00:00:05] Singer's song

[00:00:08] And the sweat was floodin' her eyes

[00:00:14] The catwalk squeaked

[00:00:17] 'Neath the bartender's feet

[00:00:20] And the smoke was too heavy

[00:00:22] To rise

[00:00:25] She sang of the love that I left her

[00:00:30] And of the woman that she'll never be

[00:00:35] Made me feel like the buck and a quarter

[00:00:40] That I paid 'em to listen and see

[00:00:47] Paid 'em

[00:00:48] To listen and see

[00:01:00] I was born down in kansas

[00:01:04] 'Neath the october sky

[00:01:08] Work the day shift from seven to three

[00:01:13] And the only relief

[00:01:16] That I receive

[00:01:18] Is nearer my god to thee

[00:01:24] She constantly throws me off timing

[00:01:29] Leaves me standing both naked and bare

[00:01:34] Makes me feel like the sunday funnies

[00:01:39] After everything's gone off the air

[00:01:46] Everything's gone off the air

[00:01:59] I picked through the ashes

[00:02:03] Of the torch singer's song

[00:02:07] And I ordered my money a round

[00:02:12] For whiskey and pain

[00:02:15] Both taste the same

[00:02:18] During the time they go down

[00:02:23] She sang of the love that I left her

[00:02:28] And of the woman that she'll never be

[00:02:34] Made me feel like the buck and a quarter

[00:02:39] That I paid 'em

[00:02:41] To listen and see

[00:02:45] Paid 'em

[00:02:46] To listen and see
