Gods of American Success (美国成功之神) - John Mark McMillan[00:00:00]
Written by:John Mark McMillan[00:00:01]
White faced phantoms in a foggy rain[00:00:03]
Minnows in the pool the way they slip away[00:00:06]
And I go fumbling go running in and repossess[00:00:09]
The story of my youth[00:00:13]
The story of my electric pains[00:00:14]
Are we running after flickering sparks oh[00:00:17]
Are we babbling for diamonds in the dark oh[00:00:20]
The way we chase that mercury[00:00:23]
The way we chase that mercury[00:00:26]
Loud like lions in the slickest wool[00:00:30]
Desperately we haunt the other animal[00:00:33]
But in the end if all we are is dogs out back chasing cars[00:00:37]
Then pray that we don't get the things we want[00:00:40]
Are we running after flickering sparks oh[00:00:44]
Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark oh[00:00:47]
The way we chase that mercury[00:00:50]
The way we chase that mercury oh[00:00:54]
Love a pound of flesh[00:00:57]
Offer it up to the Gods of American success[00:00:59]
Doesn't matter what you are you're only second best[00:01:02]
If it's all that you can ever hope to be[00:01:06]
The way you chase that mercury oh[00:01:09]
Around your fumble in the mystery[00:01:18]
Afraid to be it smells while we pretend to be[00:01:21]
Something more than what we are[00:01:25]
Losing love a bunch run hearts[00:01:26]
Mystified by everything we see[00:01:28]
Are we running after flickering sparks oh[00:01:32]
Are we grappling for diamonds in the dark oh[00:01:36]
The way we chase that mercury[00:01:39]
The way we chase that mercury oh[00:01:41]
Oh the way we chase that mercury[00:01:45]
The way we chase that mercury oh[00:01:48]
Love a pound of flesh[00:01:52]
Offer it up to the Gods of American success[00:01:54]
Doesn't matter who you are you're only second best[00:01:57]
If it's all that you can ever hope to be[00:02:00]
The way you chase that mercury oh[00:02:04]
The way you chase that mercury[00:02:08]
There must be more to this[00:02:34]
Our desperate wonder and[00:02:37]
How do we put to rest[00:02:40]
All of our victims and[00:02:44]
Beneath the shadows of[00:02:47]
All that we think we want[00:02:50]
Is there a light we can't see[00:02:54]
There must be more to this[00:03:01]
Our desperate wonder and[00:03:04]
How do we put to rest[00:03:08]
All of our victims and[00:03:11]
Beneath the shadows of[00:03:14]
All that we think we want[00:03:18]
Is there a light we can't see[00:03:21]
The way you chase that mercury[00:03:26]
