[00:00:00] The Rock (LP版) - Harry Chapin

[00:00:05] Written by：Harry Chapin

[00:00:15] The rock is gonna fall on us

[00:00:17] He woke with a start

[00:00:19] And he ran to his mother

[00:00:21] The fear dark in his heart

[00:00:22] And he told her of the vision

[00:00:24] That he was sure he'd seen

[00:00:26] She said go back to sleep son

[00:00:28] You're having a bad dream

[00:00:33] Silly child

[00:00:34] Everybody knows the rock leans over the town

[00:00:37] Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground

[00:00:41] Remember chicken little said the sky was falling down

[00:00:44] Well nothing ever came of that

[00:00:46] The world still whirls around

[00:00:53] The rock is gonna fall on us he stood

[00:00:56] And told the class

[00:00:57] The professor put his chalk down

[00:00:59] And peered out through his glasses

[00:01:01] But he went on and said I've seen it

[00:01:03] High up on the hill

[00:01:04] If it doesn't fall this year

[00:01:06] Then very soon it will

[00:01:11] Crazy boy

[00:01:12] Everybody knows the rock leans over the town

[00:01:15] Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground

[00:01:19] We've more important studies than your fantasies

[00:01:22] And fears

[00:01:23] You know that rock's been perched up there for a hundred thousand years

[00:01:32] The rock is gonna fall on us he told the magistrates

[00:01:35] I believe that we can stop it but the

[00:01:37] Time is getting late

[00:01:38] You see I've done all the research

[00:01:41] My plans are all complete

[00:01:43] He was showing them contingencies

[00:01:44] When they showed him to the street

[00:01:49] Just a madman

[00:01:50] Everybody knows the rock leans over the town

[00:01:53] Everybody knows that it won't tumble to the ground

[00:01:57] Everybody knows of those who say the end is near

[00:02:01] Everybody knows that life goes on as usual 'round here

[00:02:13] He went up on the mountain beside the giant stone

[00:02:17] They knew he was insane so they left him all alone

[00:02:21] He'd given up enlisting help for there was no one else

[00:02:25] He spent his days devising ways to stop

[00:02:27] The rock himself

[00:02:30] One night while he was working building

[00:02:32] Braces on the ledge

[00:02:34] The ground began to rumble the rock

[00:02:36] Trembled on the edge

[00:02:44] The rock is gonna fall on us run or

[00:02:46] You'll all be crushed

[00:02:48] And indeed the rock was moving

[00:02:50] Crumbling all to dust

[00:02:51] He ran under it with one last hope

[00:02:54] That he could add a prop

[00:02:55] And as he disappeared

[00:02:57] The rock came to a stop

[00:03:02] The people ran into the street

[00:03:04] But by then all was still

[00:03:06] The rock seemed where it always was

[00:03:08] Or where it always will be

[00:03:10] When someone asked where he had gone

[00:03:12] They said oh he was daft

[00:03:14] Who cares about that crazy fool and

[00:03:16] Then they'd start to laugh

[00:03:21] But high up on the mountain

[00:03:23] When the wind is hitting it

[00:03:25] If you're watching very closely

[00:03:28] The rock

[00:03:29] Slips

[00:03:31] A little

[00:03:32] Bit
