《Gates of Eden》歌词

[00:00:00] Gates Of Eden - Bryan Ferry (布莱恩·费里)

[00:00:16] Of war and peace the truth just twists

[00:00:20] It's curfew gull just glides

[00:00:26] Upon four legged forest clouds

[00:00:30] The cowboy angel rides

[00:00:35] With his candle lit into the sun

[00:00:39] Though it's glow is waxed in black

[00:00:45] All except when 'neath the trees of Eden

[00:00:52] The savage soldiers sticks his head in sand

[00:00:57] And then complains

[00:01:01] Unto the shoeless hunter who's gone deaf

[00:01:06] But still remains

[00:01:11] Upon the beach where hound dogs bay

[00:01:14] At ships with tatooed sails

[00:01:20] Heading for the Gates of Eden

[00:01:27] With a time rusted compass blade

[00:01:31] Alladin and his lamp

[00:01:37] Sits with Utopian hermit monks

[00:01:40] Side saddle on the Golden Calf

[00:01:46] And on their promises of paradise

[00:01:50] You will not hear a laugh

[00:01:56] All except inside the Gates of Eden

[00:02:39] Relationships of ownership

[00:02:42] They whisper in the wings

[00:02:48] To those condemned to act accordingly

[00:02:52] And wait for succeeding kings

[00:02:57] And I will try to harmonize with songs

[00:03:02] The lonesome sparrow sings

[00:03:07] There are no kings inside the Gates of Eden

[00:03:15] The motorcycle black madonna

[00:03:19] Two wheeled gypsy queen

[00:03:24] And her silver studded phantom 'cause

[00:03:28] The gray flannel dwarf to scream

[00:03:33] As he weeps to wicked birds of prey

[00:03:37] Who pick up on his bread crumb sins

[00:03:42] And there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden

[00:03:50] At dawn my lower comes to me

[00:03:54] And tells me of her dreams

[00:03:59] With no attempts to shovel the glimpse

[00:04:03] Into the ditch of what each one means

[00:04:09] At times I think there are no words

[00:04:12] But these to tell what's true

[00:04:18] And there are no truths outside

[00:04:22] The Gates of Eden
