《Plastic Palace People》歌词

[00:00:00] Plastic Palace People - Scott Walker (斯考特·沃克)

[00:00:07] Over the rooftop sails Billy

[00:00:14] A string tied to his underwear

[00:00:22] Through cobbled stone streets a child races

[00:00:29] And shouts "Billy come down from there"

[00:00:37] "My mother's calling" his voice whimpers

[00:00:43] A string clutched in his tiny hand

[00:00:51] Not till I've seen the sky's not lit up

[00:00:58] In tears child try and understand

[00:01:06] Don't pull the string Don't bring me down

[00:01:13] Don't make me land

[00:01:31] Plastic palace people

[00:01:36] Sing silent songs they dream too long

[00:01:41] Their memories just stare

[00:01:46] Plastic palace Alice

[00:01:52] She steals her cards tomorrow deals

[00:01:57] With deafening despair

[00:02:04] Hurry you've got to get in line

[00:02:11] Your nose might start to shine

[00:02:15] And sweat it out and dance about

[00:02:20] The whole eternal life

[00:02:38] A harvest of stars surrounds Billy

[00:02:45] The night clings to his happy eyes

[00:02:52] A sleeping town square beneath a fountain

[00:03:00] A child murmurs a weary sigh

[00:03:07] My mother weeps And weaves her hair

[00:03:15] With worries please Come down from there

[00:03:39] Plastic palace people

[00:03:44] Through fields of clay and granite grey

[00:03:50] They play without a sound

[00:03:54] Plastic palace Alice

[00:04:00] Blows gaping holes to store her fears

[00:04:05] Inside her lovers head

[00:04:12] Listen they're laughing in the halls

[00:04:19] They rip your face with lies

[00:04:23] To buzzing eyes you cry for help

[00:04:28] Like gods they bark replies

[00:04:47] Over the rooftops burns Billy

[00:04:52] Balloon sadly the string descends

[00:05:01] Searching its way down through blue submarine air

[00:05:10] The polka dot underwear

[00:05:15] To meet the trees In morning square

[00:05:23] Just hanging there Just hanging there
