《Too Close To The Sun》歌词

[00:00:00] Too Close To The Sun (靠太阳太近) - The Mutton Birds

[00:00:31] It's so dry here

[00:00:37] One spark and the whole place could go up

[00:00:49] I think i'll stop and get a drink here

[00:00:56] Something like the picture on the poster i saw a few miles back

[00:01:03] A green can on a nest of ice

[00:01:07] Like the egg of some antarctic bird

[00:01:13] And i've seen this town in a dream

[00:01:18] I was running away

[00:01:23] From something that i didn't want to see

[00:01:28] It was a day like today

[00:01:31] I watched the sky melt over highway one

[00:01:38] And i felt too close to the sun

[00:02:13] Neighbour of mine

[00:02:19] Got out of his car somewhere down country in weather like this

[00:02:32] Just disappeared

[00:02:35] Left the engine running

[00:02:37] Police came to talk to his wife

[00:02:41] I watched them from my window

[00:02:44] She was shaking her head

[00:02:47] The cops were standing with their big hands hanging down

[00:02:55] And i've seen this town in a dream

[00:03:00] I was running away

[00:03:05] From something that i didn't want to see

[00:03:09] It was a day like today

[00:03:13] I watched the sky melt over highway one

[00:03:20] And i felt too close to the sun

[00:03:34] Who's that yonder dressed in white

[00:03:39] An old man kneeling on the bowling green

[00:03:43] Shiny with gin and brilliantine

[00:03:46] He might as well have stepped from a satellite

[00:03:52] Looks at me and gets up slowly

[00:03:55] Smiles and waves as if he knows me

[00:04:01] And i've seen this town in a dream

[00:04:06] I was running away

[00:04:11] From something that i didn't want to see

[00:04:15] It was a day like today

[00:04:19] I watched the sky melt over highway one

[00:04:25] And i felt too close to the sun

[00:04:53] Too close to the sun
