Throwing Stones (Live at Oakland Coliseum Arena, Oakland, CA, December 17, 1992) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)[00:00:01]
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning spinning free[00:00:11]
Dizzy with eternity[00:00:16]
Paint it with a skin of sky brush in some clouds and sea[00:00:21]
Call it home for you and me[00:00:25]
A peaceful place or so it looks from space[00:00:31]
A closer look reveals the human race[00:00:35]
Full of hope full of grace is the human face[00:00:40]
But afraid we may lay our home to waste[00:00:44]
There's a fear down here we can't forget[00:00:51]
Hasn't got a name just yet[00:00:56]
Always awake always around[00:01:01]
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down[00:01:05]
Ashes to ashes all fall down[00:01:09]
Now watch as the ball revolves and the nighttime falls[00:01:11]
And again the hunt begins and again the bloodwind calls[00:01:16]
By and by again the morning sun will rise[00:01:21]
But the darkness never goes from some men's eyes[00:01:25]
It strolls the sidewalks and it rolls the streets[00:01:29]
Staking turf dividing up meat[00:01:35]
Nightmare spook piece of heat[00:01:40]
It's you and me you and me[00:01:44]
Whoa click flashblade in ghetto night[00:01:52]
Rudie's looking for a fight[00:01:56]
Rat cat alley roll them bones[00:02:01]
Need that cash to feed that jones[00:02:06]
And the politician's throwing stones[00:02:08]
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down[00:02:10]
Commissars and pin-striped bosses role the dice[00:02:13]
Any way they fall guess who gets to pay the price[00:02:20]
Money green or proletarian gray[00:02:25]
Selling guns instead of food today[00:02:29]
So the kids they dance and shake their bones[00:02:36]
And the politician's throwing stones[00:02:39]
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down[00:02:41]
Heartless powers try to tell us what to think[00:03:05]
If the spirit's sleeping then the flesh is ink yeah[00:03:10]
History's page it is thusly carved in stone[00:03:15]
The future's here we are it we are on our own[00:03:19]
On our own[00:03:24]
On our own[00:03:26]
On our own[00:03:35]
On our own[00:03:36]
On our own[00:03:37]
If the game is lost then we're all the same[00:04:46]
No one left to place or take the blame[00:04:51]
We will leave this place an empty stone[00:04:55]
Or that shinning ball of blue we can call our home[00:04:59]
So the kids they dance they shake their bones[00:05:06]
And the politicians throwing stones[00:05:09]
Singing ashes to ashes all fall down[00:05:11]
Shipping powders back and forth[00:05:25]
Singing black goes south and white comes north[00:05:30]
And the whole world full of petty wars[00:05:34]
Singing I got mine and you got yours[00:05:39]
And the current fashions set the pace[00:05:43]
Lose your step fall out of grace[00:05:48]
And the radical he rant and rage[00:05:52]
Singing someone got to turn the page[00:05:57]
And the rich man in his summer home[00:06:01]
Singing Just leave well enough alone[00:06:06]
But his pants are down his cover's blown[00:06:11]
And the politicians throwing stones[00:06:15]
So the kids they dance they shake their bones[00:06:18]
Cause its all too clear we're on our own[00:06:20]
Sing ashes to ashes all fall down[00:06:22]
Ashes to ashes all fall down[00:06:25]
Picture a bright blue ball just spinning spinning free[00:06:28]
