Dress Rehearsal Rag - Judy Collins (朱蒂·柯林斯)[00:00:00]
Got up sometime in the afternoon[00:00:06]
And you didn't feel like much[00:00:10]
You said to yourself[00:00:13]
Where are you golden boy[00:00:15]
Where is your famous golden touch[00:00:16]
I thought you knew where[00:00:20]
All the elephants lie down[00:00:22]
I thought you were the crown prince[00:00:27]
Of all the wheels in Ivory town[00:00:29]
Look at your body now[00:00:34]
Where there's nothing much to say[00:00:36]
And a bitter voice in the mirror says[00:00:40]
Hey prince you need a shave[00:00:43]
Now if you can manage to get[00:00:47]
Your trembling fingers to behave[00:00:49]
Why don't you try unwrapping[00:00:53]
A stainless steel razor blade[00:00:55]
That's right it's come to this[00:00:59]
It's come to this[00:01:03]
And wasn't it a long way down[00:01:07]
And wasn't it a strange way down[00:01:15]
There's no hot water[00:01:25]
And the cold is running thin[00:01:28]
Well what do you expect[00:01:33]
From the kind of places you've been living in[00:01:35]
Don't drink from that cup[00:01:39]
It's all caked and cracked along the rim[00:01:41]
That's not the electric light my friend[00:01:45]
That is your vision that is dim[00:01:48]
Cover up your face with soap there[00:01:53]
Now you're Santa Claus[00:01:57]
And you've got an A for anyone[00:01:59]
Who will give you his applause[00:02:02]
I thought you were a racing man[00:02:07]
Ah but you couldn't take the pace[00:02:10]
That's a funeral in the mirror[00:02:13]
And it's stopping at your face[00:02:16]
That's right it's come to this[00:02:19]
It's come to this[00:02:24]
And wasn't it a long way down[00:02:27]
And wasn't it a strange way down[00:02:36]
Once there was a path[00:02:45]
And a girl with chestnut hair[00:02:49]
And you spent the summers[00:02:52]
Picking all the berries that grew there[00:02:55]
There were times she was a woman[00:02:58]
There were times she was a child[00:03:02]
As you held her in the shadows[00:03:06]
Where the raspberries grow wild[00:03:09]
And you climbed the highest mountains[00:03:12]
And you sang about the view[00:03:16]
And everywhere you went[00:03:20]
Love went along with you[00:03:22]
That's a hard one to remember[00:03:27]
It makes you clench your fist[00:03:30]
And the veins stand out like highways[00:03:33]
All along your wrist[00:03:37]
And yes it's come to this[00:03:39]
It's come to this[00:03:43]
And wasn't it a long way down[00:03:47]
Wasn't it a strange way down[00:03:56]
You can still find a job[00:04:06]
Go out and talk to a friend[00:04:09]
On the back of every magazine[00:04:13]
There are coupons you can send[00:04:15]
Why don't you join the Rosicrucians[00:04:19]
They will give you back your hope[00:04:22]
You can find your love in diagrams[00:04:26]
In a plain brown envelope[00:04:30]
But you've used up all your coupons[00:04:33]
Except the one that seems[00:04:37]
To be tattooed on your arm[00:04:41]
Along with several thousand dreams[00:04:44]
Now Santa Claus comes forward[00:04:49]
That's a razor in his mitt[00:04:51]
And he puts on his dark glasses[00:04:54]
And he shows you where to hit[00:04:58]
And then the cameras pan[00:05:01]
The stand in stuntman's[00:05:06]
