Magdalene Lane - Don McLean (唐·麦克林)[00:00:00]
The angels are lost in the city of stars[00:00:10]
The wise men are down on their knees [00:00:15]
And the fruitman of freeway will sell you his cars[00:00:20]
When he's sure that you can't find the keys [00:00:25]
And the ladies on Magdalene lane[00:00:29]
All worship the sun and the sand [00:00:33]
And the migrants who come can't complain[00:00:38]
For this is their promised land [00:00:43]
La la la la la la la la la [00:00:47]
La la la la la la la [00:00:51]
La la la la la la la la la [00:00:55]
La la la la la la la [00:01:00]
MGM studios can't make the nut[00:01:07]
They're auctioning Dorothy's shoes [00:01:11]
Gable is gone the good witch is a slut[00:01:16]
And I've got the parking lot blues [00:01:21]
The wizard brought benzadrine smiles[00:01:25]
And he never let Dorothy doze [00:01:29]
She died as she walked down the aisle[00:01:33]
And all that remains is her clothes [00:01:38]
Over the rainbow a Kansas tornado[00:01:43]
Can twist up a little girl′s head [00:01:47]
Aunt Em's on relief and the tinman's a thief[00:01:51]
And even the wizard can't wake the dead [00:01:56]
La la la la la la la la la [00:02:01]
La la la la la la la [00:02:05]
The prophet has come to this kingdom of lights[00:02:12]
But there's no one to listen or learn [00:02:16]
And the savior performs for the prophet's delight[00:02:21]
While dissenters are banished or burned [00:02:26]
And the heretics beg to be heard[00:02:30]
But the savior's on tour for the week [00:02:34]
Salvation is found in his word[00:02:38]
If only he'd learn how to speak [00:02:43]
And Lincoln is laughing with Amos 'n' Andy[00:02:48]
Concerning the Great Civil War [00:02:52]
And Paul Revere sleeps with the worst looking creeps[00:02:56]
While revolution's knocking at his door [00:03:00]
La la la la la la la la la [00:03:05]
La la la la la la la [00:03:09]
Magdalene Lane is the red light domain[00:03:16]
Where everyone's soul is for sale [00:03:20]
A piece of your heart will do for a start[00:03:25]
But you can send us the rest in the mail [00:03:29]
For we have our own families to feed[00:03:33]
And we can't let them starve just for you [00:03:38]
Well we'd rather not watch while you bleed[00:03:42]
So come back in an hour when you're through [00:03:46]
It's just another city full of sorrow [00:03:51]
It makes no difference why I came [00:03:55]
I only know I'm leaving here tomorrow[00:04:00]
And only the motel man knows my name[00:04:04]
