- Amanda Palmer Olly Olly Oxen Free 歌詞
- Amanda Palmer
- So You wanted
Thats what you get for wanting
You got it
Thats what you get for getting
Forgotten
Youre gardening a rotting bed
Of raygun-era icons
So Lets start it
Lets start it
From the minute you felt it
You felt it like a prison
A panic, you felt it
Like that coffee scene
From Moscow on the
Hudson So ...
Be honest
Its not as if youre happy about it
Its not as if youre animatronic
Its not as if you couldnt
Cry out any time you wanted
Olly olly oxen free
All the people you will never be
Olly olly oxen free
Olly olly olly olly
Olly olly olly olly
Fate You call it
You color it
The color you want it
You carpet it
Thats awful convenient
You paint yourself a nice white room
With stripes and matching curtains
So You forfeit
You cannot build a river across it
You cannot hold your own heart hostage
You do not have the strength
To gag yourself in every closet
The wrong place, wrong mind
Timings always bad
Youre such a sad case
Misplaced renaissance
Inventor of a worldwide
Heartbreak, taking it in stride
Cause youre an expert
Arent you?
Arent you just a dime a dozen?
Murderous monosyllabic moron
With no sense of purpose
Working on your songs all night
To justify your worthlessness
To anyone whos watching
If they only saw your alter egos
Pretty in the shop windows
Where you got auctioned hours ago
Olly olly oxen free
All the people you will never be
Olly olly oxen free olly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
See no evil, hear no evil
Capture me and throw the key
See no evil, hear no evil
Capture me and throw the key away
Throw the key away
So Its over
Youre lying in a coffin of clutter
Your father and your sister, your drummer
Are sorting through your
Soft Cell tapes
And lifesaver collection, and you wonder
You wonder if you couldve done better
You wonder if you shouldve surrendered
Before you learned that
Nobody actually wants a ****ing martyr
Didnt you, didnt you, didnt
Didnt you see?
Didnt you, didnt you, didnt
Didnt you see?
Didnt you, didnt you, didnt
Didnt you see me?
Didnt you, didnt you, didnt
Didnt you see me?
Olly olly oxen free
All the people you will never be
Olly olly oxen free olly olly olly olly
Higher than the king can
See no evil, hear no evil
Capture me and throw the key
See no evil, hear no evil
Capture me and throw the key away
Throw the key away
Throw the key away
