《The Conqueror Worm》歌词

[00:00:01] The Conqueror Worm - Lou Reed

[00:00:08] Lo It's a gala night

[00:00:11] A mystic throng bedecked

[00:00:14] Sit in a theater to see

[00:00:15] A play of hopes and fears

[00:00:17] While the orchestra breathes fitfully

[00:00:19] The music of the spheres

[00:00:32] Mimes mutter and mumble low

[00:00:34] Mere puppets they who come and go

[00:00:36] Disguised as gods

[00:00:37] They shift the scenery to and fro

[00:00:39] Inevitably trapped by invisible wo

[00:01:11] This motley drama

[00:01:13] To be sure

[00:01:13] Will not be forgotten

[00:01:16] A phantom chased for evermore

[00:01:18] Never seized by the crowd

[00:01:19] Through they circle

[00:01:20] Returning to the same spot

[00:01:22] Circle and return to the selfsame spot

[00:01:25] Always to the selfsame spot

[00:01:28] With much of madness and more of sin

[00:01:30] And horror and mimic rout

[00:01:32] The soul of the plot

[00:01:36] Out

[00:01:37] Out are the lights

[00:01:40] Out all

[00:01:40] And over each dying form

[00:01:43] The curtain a funeral pall

[00:01:45] Comes with the rush of a storm

[00:01:48] The angels haggard and wan

[00:01:50] Unveiling and uprising affirm

[00:01:52] That the play is the tragedy man

[00:01:56] And its hero the conqueror worm
