Plastic Palace People - Scott Walker (斯考特·沃克)[00:00:00]
Over the rooftop sails Billy[00:00:07]
A string tied to his underwear[00:00:14]
Through cobbled stone streets a child races[00:00:21]
And shouts "Billy come down from there"[00:00:29]
"My mother's calling" his voice whimpers[00:00:36]
A string clutched in his tiny hand[00:00:43]
Not till I've seen the sky's not lit up[00:00:51]
In tears child try and understand[00:00:58]
Don't pull the string Don't bring me down[00:01:05]
Don't make me land[00:01:13]
Plastic palace people[00:01:31]
Sing silent songs they dream too long[00:01:36]
Their memories just stare[00:01:41]
Plastic palace Alice[00:01:46]
She steals her cards tomorrow deals[00:01:51]
With deafening despair[00:01:57]
Hurry you've got to get in line[00:02:04]
Your nose might start to shine[00:02:10]
And sweat it out and dance about[00:02:15]
The whole eternal life[00:02:19]
A harvest of stars surrounds Billy[00:02:38]
The night clings to his happy eyes[00:02:45]
A sleeping town square beneath a fountain[00:02:52]
A child murmurs a weary sigh[00:03:00]
My mother weeps And weaves her hair[00:03:07]
With worries please Come down from there[00:03:14]
Plastic palace people[00:03:39]
Through fields of clay and granite grey[00:03:43]
They play without a sound[00:03:50]
Plastic palace Alice[00:03:54]
Blows gaping holes to store her fears[00:04:00]
Inside her lovers head[00:04:05]
Listen they're laughing in the halls[00:04:11]
They rip your face with lies[00:04:19]
To buzzing eyes you cry for help[00:04:23]
Like gods they bark replies[00:04:28]
Over the rooftops burns Billy[00:04:46]
Balloon sadly the string descends[00:04:53]
Searching its way down through blue submarine air[00:05:00]
The polka dot underwear[00:05:10]
To meet the trees In morning square[00:05:15]
Just hanging there Just hanging there[00:05:22]
