Passion Play (受难记) - Janis Ian (珍妮斯·艾恩)[00:00:00]
Written by:Janis Ian[00:00:00]
She came from Dakota[00:00:19]
Though some say she hailed from the South[00:00:21]
He tried to believe but each time she would leave[00:00:27]
With the venom that dripped from her mouth[00:00:31]
Like some angel of old[00:00:36]
Bent on saving the soul[00:00:38]
Drugged to the knees he would pray[00:00:41]
To some rude Russian icon[00:00:44]
That twined like a python[00:00:46]
And blinded the sun night and day[00:00:48]
He'd say[00:00:52]
Please bring me peace[00:00:55]
He say you'll stay[00:01:01]
Just to leave me whole[00:01:04]
All of my soul your passion play[00:01:07]
Though she lies to amuse[00:01:18]
She lies to confuse[00:01:20]
Passion with vision and pain[00:01:22]
He lies for possession and time[00:01:26]
Though there's no time to gain[00:01:28]
Squandering feeling[00:01:34]
Constantly stealing away[00:01:36]
From the sound of her name[00:01:38]
Is like thunder and lightning[00:01:41]
Hiding the sound of the rain[00:01:43]
And she'd say[00:01:47]
Please bring me peace[00:01:49]
You say you'll stay[00:01:56]
Just to leave me whole[00:01:59]
All of my soul your passion play[00:02:02]
So he searches for truth[00:02:24]
In the beauty that once was her name[00:02:25]
Senselessly trusting in time to remind her[00:02:31]
Blind she came[00:02:35]
Suddenly rootless[00:02:38]
Fashionably useless[00:02:40]
Magically fruitless and time[00:02:42]
Like some Sunday scholar[00:02:46]
Who lives off the squalor[00:02:48]
Of yesterday's knowledge and fame[00:02:50]
And he'd say[00:02:54]
Please bring me peace[00:02:56]
You say you'll stay[00:03:03]
Just to leave me whole[00:03:05]
All of my soul your passion play[00:03:08]
Well some overdose[00:03:19]
And some wrap like a rose[00:03:20]
'Round the slick perfumed nose[00:03:22]
Of high noon[00:03:24]
Burning their lips[00:03:27]
As they stoop low to kiss[00:03:28]
Some rich man's excuse for the moon[00:03:30]
I must have been lucky[00:03:36]
Got out with my body intact[00:03:38]
And tomorrow in tune[00:03:41]
Now it's this sense of time[00:03:44]
That wraps like a vine[00:03:46]
'Round the neck of the sun and the moon[00:03:47]
He'd say[00:03:52]
Please bring me peace[00:03:53]
Say you'll stay[00:04:00]
Just to leave me whole[00:04:03]
All of my soul your passion play[00:04:06]
