Maddox Table - 10000 Maniacs (一万个疯子)[00:00:00]

Written by：Merchant Natalie[00:00:01]

The legs of maddox kitchen tables[00:00:16]

My whole life twisted on a lathe[00:00:21]

In a foreman's torrent[00:00:28]

My first english was[00:00:30]

Faster boy if you want your pay[00:00:32]

Barking commands[00:00:35]

Loud and simple[00:00:37]

We could all obey[00:00:39]

Then I was forever pulling silvers[00:00:42]

Rubbed the sawdust always[00:00:47]

Deeper in my eye[00:00:50]

Varnish vapor that could linger[00:00:54]

On my skin[00:00:58]

It held tight[00:00:59]

The whine of spinning blades[00:01:01]

Still echoes to bother my sleep at night[00:01:03]

See that ox[00:01:07]

Stamped dead center[00:01:08]

On the letter head of the company mail[00:01:10]

Four decades a spitting image[00:01:14]

Of the animal I portrayed[00:01:16]

At maddox table a yoke was carved[00:01:20]

For my neck[00:01:23]

Sun through the window oil spattered[00:01:27]

And in mason jars[00:01:32]

Tricked plenty seeds thrive[00:01:34]

The standing joke[00:01:39]

Around the shop was[00:01:41]

With my green thumb[00:01:42]

Anything'd grow[00:01:44]

My part was to laugh[00:01:45]

Show and ornery jig had[00:01:47]

Cut it at the knuckle bone[00:01:49]

See that ox[00:01:52]

Trade mark burned[00:01:53]

Into every stick of furniture[00:01:55]

From horn to tail[00:01:57]

Four decades a spitting image[00:01:59]

Of the animal I portrayed[00:02:01]

At maddox table a yoke was carved[00:02:05]

For my neck[00:02:08]

Was tailor made[00:02:10]

O my Dolly was a weak[00:02:23]

Not a burdened girl[00:02:26]

Treat her to a piece of vaudville[00:02:30]

A wintergarden moving picture show[00:02:34]

Bemus point on July Sundays[00:02:38]

By trolley we'd go[00:02:41]

To your benefit we's strike or bargain[00:02:56]

With the waving fist a union man[00:03:00]

Not just for[00:03:03]

Smokes spirits candy and cologne[00:03:04]

But for[00:03:06]

Automobile keys[00:03:06]

Cash in the bank[00:03:08]

And the deed[00:03:09]

On a place called home[00:03:11]
