时长: 04:11
There are nights when I think that Sal Paradise was right[00:00:28]
Boys and girls in America they have such a sad time together[00:00:34]
Sucking off each other at the demonstrations making sure their makeup's straight[00:00:41]
Crushing one another with colossal expectations dependent undisciplined sleeping late[00:00:48]
She was a really cool kisser and she wasn't all that strict of a Christian[00:00:54]
She was a damn good dancer but she wasn't all that great of a girlfriend[00:01:00]
He likes the warm feeling but he's tired of all the dehydration[00:01:07]
Most nights are crystal clear but tonight it's like he's stuck between stations[00:01:14]
On the radio[00:01:20]
The Devil and John Berryman they took a walk together[00:01:34]
And they ended up on Washington talking to the river[00:01:37]
He said "I've surrounded myself with doctors and deep thinkers[00:01:41]
Their big heads and soft bodies make for lousy lovers"[00:01:44]
There was that night that we thought John Berryman could fly[00:01:47]
But he didn't so he died[00:01:52]
She said "You're pretty good with words but words won't save your life"[00:01:54]
And they didn't so he died[00:01:57]
Yeah he was drunk and exhausted he was critically acclaimed and respected[00:02:00]
He loved the Golden Gophers but he hated all the drawn-out winters[00:02:07]
He likes the warm feeling but he's tired of all the dehydration[00:02:14]
Most nights were kind of fuzzy but that last night he had total retention[00:02:20]
Yeah these Twin City kisses[00:02:26]
They sound like clicks and hisses[00:02:29]
We all come down and drowned[00:02:32]
In the Mississippi River[00:02:34]
We drink and we dry up and now we crumble into dust[00:02:51]
We get wet and we corrode and now we're covered up in rust[00:02:58]
We drink and we dry up and now we crumble into dust[00:03:04]
We get wet and we corrode and now we're covered up in rust[00:03:10]
She was a really cool kisser and she wasn't all that strict of a Christian[00:03:17]
She was a damn good dancer but she wasn't all that great of a girlfriend[00:03:23]
He likes the warm feeling but he's tired of all the dehydration[00:03:30]
Most nights are crystal clear but tonight it's like he's stuck between stations[00:03:37]
These Twin City kisses[00:03:43]
They sound like clicks and hisses[00:03:45]
We all come down and drowned[00:03:47]
End[00:03:56]
