Celebration Of The Lizard (LP Version)歌词

[00:38.93]Lions in the street and roaming
[00:42.46]Dogs in heat, rabid, foaming
[00:47.60]A beast caged in the heart of a city
[00:55.83]The body of his mother
[00:57.11]Rotting in the summer ground
[00:58.86]He fled the town
[01:00.74]He went down South and crossed the border
[01:05.24]Left the chaos and disorder
[01:07.48]Back there over his shoulder
[01:11.82]One morning he awoke in a green hotel
[01:16.63]With a strange creature groaning beside him
[01:22.06]Sweat oozed from its shiny skin
[01:35.15]Is everybody in?
[01:38.86]Is everybody in?
[01:43.64]Is everybody in?
[01:48.13]The ceremony is about to begin
[01:52.91]Wake up
[01:55.65]You can't remember where it was
[01:58.66]Had this dream stopped?
[02:02.18]The snake was pale gold
[02:05.55]Glazed and shrunken
[02:08.27]We were afraid to touch it
[02:11.74]The sheets were hot dead prisons
[02:19.97]And she was beside me
[02:25.07]Old, she's not, young
[02:37.53]Her dark white hair
[02:41.52]Her white soft skin
[02:44.82]Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom
[02:47.48]Look!
[02:48.73]She's coming in here
[02:50.64]I can't live through each slow century of her moving
[02:57.22]I let my cheek slide down
[03:00.54]The cool smooth tile
[03:06.26]Feel the good cold stinging blood
[03:13.08]The smooth hissing snakes of rain
[03:44.27]Once I had, a little game
[03:49.05]I liked to crawl back into my brain
[03:54.25]I think you know the game I mean
[03:59.40]I mean the game called 'go insane'
[04:04.85]Now, you should try this little game
[04:10.16]Just close your eyes, forget your name
[04:15.59]Forget the world, forget the people
[04:21.21]And we'll erect a different steeple
[04:26.48]This little game is fun to do
[04:31.21]Just close your eyes, no way to lose
[04:36.52]And I'm right here, I'm going too
[04:42.11]Release control, we're breaking through, yeah
[04:48.14]Uhh
[05:29.44]Way back deep into the brain
[05:38.58]Way back past the realm of pain
[05:49.34]Back where there's never any rain
[05:59.32]And in the labyrinth of streams beneath
[06:06.22]The quiet unearthly presence of gentle hill people
[06:11.78]In the gentle hills around
[06:15.86]Reptiles abounding
[06:18.55]Fossils, caves, cool air heights
[06:36.52]Each house repeats a mold
[06:47.18]Windows rolled
[06:52.67]Beast car locked in against morning
[07:01.86]Rugs silent, mirrors vacant
[07:06.61]Dust blind under the beds of lawful couples
[07:11.45]Wound in sheets
[07:13.43]And daughters smug with semen
[07:19.39]Eyes in their nipples
[07:28.79]Wait
[07:31.27]There's been a slaughter here
[07:41.51]Don't stop to speak or look around
[07:44.60]Your gloves and fan are on the ground
[07:47.42]We're getting out of town
[07:50.42]We're going on the run
[07:53.95]And you're the one I want to come
[08:32.58]Not to touch the earth
[08:34.75]Not to see the sun
[08:37.00]Nothing left to do, but
[08:39.45]Run, run, run
[08:41.07]Let's run
[08:45.25]Let's run
[08:51.03]House upon the hill
[08:53.19]Moon is lying still
[08:55.34]Shadows of the trees
[08:57.71]Witnessing the wild breeze
[09:00.12]C'mon baby, run with me
[09:04.09]Let's run
[09:06.96]Run with me
[09:11.30]Run with me
[09:15.74]Run with me
[09:19.40]Let's run
[09:37.08]Not to touch the earth
[09:39.17]Not to see the sun
[09:41.21]Nothing left to do, but
[09:43.45]Run, run, run
[09:45.13]Let's run
[09:49.28]Let's run
[09:54.19]House upon the hill
[09:56.20]Moon is lying still
[09:58.19]Shadows of the trees
[10:00.22]Witnessing the wild breeze
[10:01.95]C'mon baby, run with me
[10:04.95]Let's run
[11:15.30]Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
[11:19.58]The engine runs on glue and tar
[11:23.40]C'mon along, we're not going very far
[11:28.02]To the East to meet the Czar
[11:39.54]The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
[11:43.67]Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
[11:47.69]Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
[11:51.90]And you won't know a thing till you get inside, yeah
[12:01.67]Run with me
[12:06.11]Run with me
[12:09.97]Run with me
[12:13.58]Let's run
[12:26.01]Some outlaws lived by the side of the lake
[12:30.06]The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
[12:34.03]Who lives in a well by the side of the road
[12:38.21]Wake up, girl! We're almost home, yeah, c'mon
[12:58.04]We should see the gates by morning
[13:09.69]We should be inside by evening
[14:12.93]Ohh
[14:16.04]Let the carnival bells ring
[14:20.46]Let the serpent sing
[14:25.42]Let everything
[14:52.59]We came down the rivers and highways
[15:00.37]We came down from forests and falls
[15:07.71]We came down from Carson and Springfield
[15:15.68]We came down from Phoenix enthralled
[15:37.65]And I can tell you the names of the Kingdom
[15:44.81]I can tell you the things that you know
[15:51.62]Listening for a fistful of silence
[15:59.51]Climbing valleys into the shade
[16:38.30]I am the Lizard King
[16:42.41]Retire now to your tents and to your dreams
[16:50.14]Tomorrow we enter the town of my birth
[16:56.96]I want to be ready
[17:00.90]
