[00:00.000] 作曲 : Newman
[00:12.01]Hasn't anybody seen me lately
[00:13.70]
[00:15.65]I'll tell you why
[00:16.84]
[00:21.67]Hasn't anybody seen me lately
[00:23.42]
[00:25.41]I'll tell you why
[00:26.54]
[00:31.35]I caught something made me so sick
[00:33.47]
[00:34.53]That I thought that I would die
[00:36.27]
[00:37.78]And I almost did too
[00:39.09]
[00:40.58]First me knees begin to tremble
[00:42.70]
[00:44.45]My heart begin to pound
[00:46.27]
[00:50.84]First my knees begin to tremble
[00:53.46]
[00:54.52]My heart begin to pound
[00:56.22]
[00:57.65]It was arrhythmic and out of tune
[01:01.08]
[01:02.02]I lost my equilibrium
[01:03.39]
[01:05.20]And fell face down upon the ground
[01:07.08]
[01:12.06]As I lay there on that cold pavement
[01:14.14]
[01:15.26]A tear ran down my face
[01:16.70]
[01:18.31]'Cause I thought I was dying
[01:19.62]
[01:21.62]You boys know I'm not a religious man
[01:23.82]
[01:24.80]But I sent a prayer out just in case
[01:26.87]
[01:28.11]You never know
[01:28.87]
[01:31.23]Lo and behold almost immediately
[01:33.26]I had reason to believe my prayer had
[01:35.27]Been heard in a very special place
[01:36.94]
[01:38.45]'Cause I heard this sound
[01:41.02]
[01:43.71]Yes
[01:44.10]
[01:49.09]Yes, it was harps and angels
[01:51.74]
[01:53.54]Harps and angels coming near
[01:55.54]
[01:58.92]I was to sick to roll over and see them
[02:00.50]But I could hear them singin ever so beautifully
[02:02.43]In my ear
[02:03.68]
[02:06.00]Then the sound began to subside
[02:08.42]And they sounded like background singers
[02:10.71]And a voice come down from the heavens above
[02:13.83]
[02:14.39]It was a voice full of anger from the Old Testament
[02:18.08]And a voice full of love from the New One
[02:20.51]And the street lit up like it was the middle of the day
[02:24.00]
[02:25.07]And I lay there quiet and listened thatto what
[02:26.43]Voice had to say
[02:27.62]
[02:28.87]He said, "You ain't ben a good man
[02:31.68]
[02:33.05]You ain't been a bad man
[02:34.36]
[02:36.30]But you've been pretty bad
[02:37.36]
[02:40.67]Lucky for you this ain't your time
[02:42.98]
[02:44.92]Someone very dear to me has made another clerical error
[02:47.35]
[02:48.60]And we're here on a bit of a wild goose chase
[02:51.28]But I want to tell you a few things
[02:53.28]That'll hold you in good stead when it is your time
[02:55.84]So you better listen close
[02:56.84]I'm only going to say this once
[02:58.57]
[02:59.07]When they lay you on the table
[03:00.71]
[03:02.45]Better keep your bussines clean
[03:03.83]
[03:08.07]'Fore they lay you on the table
[03:10.39]
[03:12.21]Better keep your business clean
[03:13.65]
[03:18.17]Don't want no back stabbing, ass grabbing
[03:20.79]You know exactly what I mean
[03:22.09]
[03:24.03]Alright girls - we're outta here"
[03:26.02]
[03:31.03]"Encore. Encore."
[03:32.33]
[03:33.46]spoke
[03:34.32]
[03:36.70]"Tres bien Encore"
[03:37.95]
[03:41.31]And off they went into the night
[03:43.13]
[03:45.00]Almost immediately I felt better
[03:47.00]And I come round to see you boys
[03:48.68]
[03:49.37]'Cause you know we ain't living right
[03:50.92]And while it was fresh
[03:52.17]I wanted to tell you what he told me
[03:54.05]
[03:55.54]He said, "When the lay you on the table
[03:59.04]
[03:59.85]Better keep your business clean
[04:01.78]
[04:06.03]When they lay you on the table
[04:08.03]
[04:09.90]Better keep your business clean
[04:11.38]
[04:15.69]Else there won't be no harps and angels
[04:17.98]Coming for you
[04:19.01]It'll be trombones, kettle drums, pitchforks,
[04:21.12]And tambourines."
[04:21.88]
[04:24.44]Sing it like they did for me one time
[04:26.37]
[04:29.05]Yes
[04:29.94]
[04:32.63]Beautiful
[04:33.06]
[04:33.69]Wish I spoke French
[04:34.69]
[04:38.93]So actually the main thing about this story is for me
[04:42.62]
[04:45.74]There really is an afterlife
[04:47.05]
[04:48.30]And I hope to see all of you there
[04:50.25]
[04:54.07]Let's go get a drink
[04:55.08]
