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]
