Antichrist Television Blues - Arcade Fire (拱廊之火)[00:00:00]
Don't want to work in a building downtown[00:00:15]
No I don't want to work in a building downtown[00:00:18]
I don't know what I'm going to do[00:00:21]
Because the planes keep crashing always two by two[00:00:24]
Don't want to work in a building downtown[00:00:27]
No I don't want to see it when the planes hit the ground[00:00:30]
Don't want to work in a building downtown[00:00:36]
Don't want to work in a building downtown[00:00:39]
Parking the cars in the underground[00:00:42]
The voices when they scream well they make no sound[00:00:45]
Want to see the cities rust[00:00:49]
And the troublemakers riding on the back of the bus[00:00:51]
Dear God I'm a good Christian man[00:00:55]
I'm your boy I know you understand[00:00:57]
That you got to work hard and you got to get paid[00:01:00]
The girl's thirteen but she don't act her age[00:01:03]
She can sing like a bird in cage[00:01:07]
Oh Lord if you could see her when she's up on that stage[00:01:09]
You know that I'm a God-fearing man[00:01:13]
You know that I'm a God-fearing man[00:01:16]
I just got to know if it's part of your plan[00:01:18]
To see my darling stand by your right hand[00:01:20]
I know that you'll do what's right Lord[00:01:25]
For they are the lanterns and you are the light[00:01:28]
Now I'm overcome[00:01:37]
By the light of day[00:01:40]
My lips are near[00:01:50]
But my heart is far away[00:01:51]
Tell me what to say[00:01:56]
I'll be your mouthpiece[00:02:01]
Into the light of a bridge that burns[00:02:02]
As I drive through the city with the money that I earn[00:02:06]
To the dark of a starless sky[00:02:10]
I won't stare into nothing and I'm asking you why[00:02:12]
Lord let me make her a star[00:02:16]
So the world can see who you really are[00:02:19]
Little girl you're old enough to understand[00:02:23]
You'll always be a stranger in a strange strange land[00:02:25]
Men are going to come while you're fast asleep[00:02:28]
So you better just stay close and hold onto me[00:02:30]
If mama's mockingbird don't sing well [00:02:34]
Then daddy won't buy her no diamond ring[00:02:36]
Dear God would you send me a child [00:02:41]
Oh God would you send me a child [00:02:43]
Because I want to put it up on the TV screen[00:02:46]
So the world can see what your true word means[00:02:49]
Lord won't you send me a sign [00:02:52]
Because I just got to know if I'm wasting my time[00:02:55]
Now I'm overcome[00:03:05]
By the light of day[00:03:11]
My lips are near[00:03:17]
But my heart is far away[00:03:19]
But now the war is won[00:03:23]
How come nothing tastes good [00:03:28]
Oh you're such a sensitive child[00:03:51]
You know you're such a sensitive child[00:03:54]
I know you're tired but it's all right[00:03:56]
I just needed you to sing for me tonight[00:03:59]
You're going to have your day in the sun[00:04:01]
You know God loves the sensitive ones[00:04:05]
Oh my little bird in a cage[00:04:09]
Oh my little bird in a cage[00:04:12]
I need you to get up for me up on that stage[00:04:14]
Show all the men that you're old for your age[00:04:17]
Now in the times of fear[00:04:21]
But if you don't take it it'll disappear[00:04:23]
Oh my little mockingbird sing[00:04:25]
Oh my little mockingbird sing[00:04:29]
I need you to get up on the stage for me honey[00:04:32]
Show the men it's not about the money[00:04:35]
Want to hold a mirror up to the world[00:04:38]
So that they can see themselves inside my little girl[00:04:41]
Do you know where I was at your age [00:04:44]
Any idea where I was at your age [00:04:47]
I was working downtown for the minimum wage [00:04:50]
And I couldn't let you just throw it all away[00:04:53]
Throw me a kid God throw me a knife[00:04:56]
So tell me Lord am I the Antichrist[00:04:59]
