Dress Rehearsal Rag - Leonard Cohen[00:00:00]

Written by：Leonard Cohen[00:00:01]

I get som time in the afternoon[00:00:08]

And I didn't feel like much[00:00:11]

I said to myself where are you golden boy[00:00:16]

Where is your famous golden touch[00:00:19]

I thought you knew where[00:00:25]

All of the elephants lie down[00:00:26]

I thought you were the crown prince[00:00:32]

Of all the wheels in ivory town[00:00:35]

Look at your body now[00:00:40]

There's nothing much to save[00:00:44]

And a bitter voice in the mirror cries[00:00:48]

Hey prince you need a shave[00:00:50]

Now if you can manage to get[00:00:56]

Your trembling fingers to behave[00:00:58]

Why don't you try unwrapping[00:01:04]

A stainless steel razor blade[00:01:06]

That's right it's come to this[00:01:10]

Yes it's come to this[00:01:14]

And wasn't it a long way down[00:01:18]

Wasn't it a strange way down[00:01:26]

There's no hot water[00:01:35]

And the cold is running thin[00:01:38]

Well what do you expect from[00:01:43]

The kind of places you've been living in[00:01:44]

Don't drink from that cup[00:01:51]

It's all caked and cracked along the rim[00:01:52]

That's not the electric light my friend[00:01:58]

That is your vision growing dim[00:02:01]

Cover up your face with soap there[00:02:06]

Now you're Santa Claus[00:02:10]

And you've got a gift for anyone[00:02:13]

Who will give you his applause[00:02:17]

I thought you were a racing man[00:02:22]

Ah but you couldn't take the pace[00:02:25]

That's a funeral in the mirror[00:02:28]

And it's stopping at your face[00:02:32]

That's right it's come to this[00:02:35]

Yes it's come to this[00:02:40]

And wasn't it a long way down[00:02:44]

Ah wasn't it a strange way down[00:02:52]

Once there was a path[00:03:00]

And a girl with chestnut hair[00:03:03]

And you passed the summers[00:03:07]

Picking all of the berries that grew there[00:03:09]

There were times she was a woman[00:03:14]

Oh there were times she was just a child[00:03:18]

And you held her in the shadows[00:03:22]

Where the raspberries grow wild[00:03:26]

And you climbed the twilight mountains[00:03:29]

And you sang about the view[00:03:33]

And everywhere that you wandered[00:03:37]

Love seemed to go along with you[00:03:40]

That's a hard one to remember[00:03:45]

Yes it makes you clench your fist[00:03:50]

And then the veins stand out like highways[00:03:51]

All along your wrist[00:03:57]

And no it's come to this[00:03:59]

Yes it's come to this[00:04:04]

And wasn't it a long way down[00:04:08]

Wasn't it a strange way down[00:04:15]

You can still find a job[00:04:24]

Go out and talk to a friend[00:04:26]

On the back of every magazine[00:04:32]

There are those coupons you can send[00:04:33]

Why don't you join the rosicrucians[00:04:39]

They will give you back your hope[00:04:42]

You can find your love with diagrams[00:04:46]

On a plain brown envelope[00:04:49]

But you've used up all your coupons[00:04:54]

Except the one that seems[00:04:57]

To be written on your wrist[00:05:01]

Along with several thousand dreams[00:05:05]

Now Santa Claus comes forward[00:05:09]

That's a razor in his mit[00:05:13]

And he puts on his dark glasses[00:05:16]

And he shows you where to hit[00:05:20]

And then the cameras pan[00:05:23]

The stand in stunt man[00:05:28]

Dress rehearsal rag[00:05:32]

It's dress rehearsal rag[00:05:40]
