The Modern Adventures of Plato, Diogenes and Freud - Blood, Sweat & Tears (血、汗和泪)[00:00:00]
Father of my morning once my child to the night[00:00:00]
I see that you have minds to cop[00:00:05]
And I can only watch with sickened sorrow[00:00:08]
Little do you know of the progressions that you teach[00:00:16]
The people that you reach are tired[00:00:21]
Of livin' in a world of elastic towers[00:00:24]
You dance with them and sing a song of changes[00:00:29]
And talk with them of life and all its dangers[00:00:35]
Surround yourself with now familiar strangers[00:00:40]
Who kiss and who hug and eventually mug you of your time[00:00:45]
And the clock on the wall is a bore[00:00:51]
As you wander past the door[00:00:55]
And find him lying on the floor[00:00:57]
As he begs you for some more you frozen smile[00:01:01]
You cannot ever picture me[00:01:21]
You know me by my mind[00:01:24]
A file for your travelogue oblivious to the night[00:01:27]
The fog around you[00:01:32]
The germs they are ridiculous they bother you at night[00:01:38]
The blood that rushes to your brain[00:01:43]
The ticket on the plane you're never catching[00:01:46]
The price you pay exclusive of your taxes[00:01:52]
To chop you up inside with tiny axes[00:01:57]
The girl looks up to you from floors she waxes[00:02:03]
And speaks to your belt with tears among her eyes[00:02:08]
And the clock on the wall is a bore[00:02:15]
As you wander past the door[00:02:18]
And find him lying on the floor[00:02:20]
As he begs you for some more you frozen smile[00:02:24]
The metaphysic wrinkles in the face of what you face[00:02:34]
Are hidden by the fake-up man[00:02:39]
Who lives inside the Sterno can beside you[00:02:42]
Now climb ye to the mountains[00:02:51]
As the sun is almost gone[00:02:53]
Escaping from your other selves[00:02:56]
Your brothers hide among the shelves inside you[00:02:59]
The games that people play can only bore you[00:03:05]
But only those that know you don't ignore you[00:03:11]
And how many times have I come there to restore you[00:03:17]
And caught you lying on the couch with father time[00:03:22]
And the clock on the wall is a bore[00:03:29]
As you wander past the door[00:03:32]
And find him lying on the floor[00:03:35]
As he begs you for some more you frozen smile[00:03:39]
