《Paprika Plains(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Paprika Plains (LP版) - Joni Mitchell

[00:00:01] Written by：Joni Mitchell

[00:00:36] It fell from midnight skies

[00:00:41] It drummed on the galvanized

[00:00:45] In the washroom women tracked the rain

[00:00:49] Up to the make-up mirror

[00:00:57] Liquid soap and grass

[00:01:00] And Jungle Gardenia crash

[00:01:03] On Pine-Sol and beer

[00:01:11] It's stifling in here

[00:01:18] I've got to get some air

[00:01:21] I'm going outside to get some air

[00:01:32] Back in my hometown

[00:01:36] They would have cleared the floor

[00:01:39] Just to watch the rain come down

[00:01:48] They're such sky oriented people

[00:01:53] Geared to changing weather

[00:01:59] I'm floating off in time

[00:02:07] I'm floating off

[00:02:09] I'm floating off in time

[00:02:21] When I was three feet tall

[00:02:26] And wide eyed open to it all

[00:02:30] With their tasseled teams they came

[00:02:33] To McGee's General Store

[00:02:40] All in their beaded leathers

[00:02:42] I would tie on colored feathers

[00:02:47] And I'd beat the drum like war

[00:02:52] I would beat the drum like war

[00:03:00] I'd beat the drum like

[00:03:02] Beat the drum like war

[00:03:15] But when the church got through

[00:03:20] They traded their beads for bottles

[00:03:23] Smashed on Railway Avenue

[00:03:30] And they cut off their braids

[00:03:34] And lost some link with nature

[00:03:42] I'm floating into dreams

[00:03:50] I'm floating off

[00:03:51] I'm floating into my dreams

[00:04:12] I dream paprika plains

[00:04:17] Vast and bleak and God forsaken

[00:04:22] Paprika plains

[00:04:27] And a turquoise river snaking

[00:11:57] The rain retreats

[00:11:59] Like troops to fall on other fields and streets

[00:12:03] Meanwhile they're sweet talking and name calling

[00:12:07] And brawling on the fringes of the floor

[00:12:13] I spot you through the smoke

[00:12:16] With your eyes on fire

[00:12:18] From J and B and coke

[00:12:25] As I'm coming through the door

[00:12:31] I'm coming back

[00:12:33] I'm coming back for more

[00:12:46] The band plugs in again

[00:12:51] You see that mirrored ball begin to sputter lights

[00:12:58] And spin

[00:13:05] Dizzy on the dancers

[00:13:09] Geared to changing rhythms

[00:13:18] No matter what you do

[00:13:25] I'm floating back

[00:13:28] I'm floating back to you
