Everyone A Puzzle Lover (LP版) - 10000 Maniacs[00:00:00]

Written by：John Lombardo[00:00:01]

Why are some men born[00:00:08]

With minds that earn degrees[00:00:10]

The loving cups[00:00:15]

Gilded plaques[00:00:16]

Grace their study walls[00:00:18]

Hide the cracks[00:00:20]

While their genius is turned[00:00:21]

To works of tyranny then[00:00:25]

Off to market to market[00:00:29]

Go selling these[00:00:31]

With words so fiery and persuasive[00:00:36]

They steal cunningly[00:00:40]

Riches no one can exceed[00:00:43]

And why are some men born[00:00:47]

With a fate of poverty[00:00:48]

One firm bed[00:00:54]

For a swollen back[00:00:55]

Year by year[00:00:57]

The bodies wracked while[00:00:59]

Their obedience is had[00:01:01]

With gradual defeat[00:01:05]

By the pace by the pace[00:01:08]

And the urgency[00:01:10]

Through a muddled thought[00:01:16]

They phrase it[00:01:17]

God knows we're deceived[00:01:18]

Barter for[00:01:22]

What they need[00:01:25]

And where they go[00:01:29]

Disdain and jeering[00:01:32]

For fools to call[00:01:36]

The noble peasantry[00:01:38]

O how it puzzles me[00:01:43]

I pressed flat the accordion pleats[00:01:52]

That had gathered in his cotton sleeves[00:01:54]

While he thumbed[00:01:58]

Yes thumbed I wouldn't say caressed[00:01:59]

The final piece[00:02:02]

A mountain's crest[00:02:04]

Soon to reply assuredly[00:02:06]

O for man aged ninety years[00:02:11]

No words to waste on sermons[00:02:16]

He'd be pleased to answer[00:02:19]

Short and sincere[00:02:22]

Girl there's a nonsense[00:02:26]

In all these heaven measures[00:02:29]

It's a heathen creed[00:02:34]

So your grandma says[00:02:35]

But better to live by[00:02:38]

Drink it all in before it's dry[00:02:40]

He ended there with a rattle[00:02:49]

Cough cough[00:02:51]

I took away the long gone cold coffee cup[00:02:52]

As a trail of camel ashes fell[00:03:03]

On the floor[00:03:06]
