Grace For Saints And Ramblers歌词

作词 : Beam, Samuel Ervin
作曲 : Beam, Samuel Ervin

But it all came down to you and I

But it all came down to you and I

There were banged up hands stealing first base
Underneath the tables
So we never sang grace
Falling out of bed for the workday week
There was kissing in the cracks
Of the flash flood streets
There were button blossoms
And merry Johnny Rotten
Chewed up and swallowed by the profit
They were trying to follow
Bit too green and we paid no tax
On our quick romantic cul de sac
But it all came down to you and I

But it all came down to you and I

There were washed out cars
In our bark-old clothes
They were rubbing on each other
Rubbing ghost on ghost
There were jonesed-up punks and Jesus freaks
Weaving in and out of trouble
Wrapping round and round a leash
There were sleepless dreamers
Blues day preachers
The message and the messenger
Gum beneath the register
The sweet gum tree by the dug dunk tank
We could never give enough
To the bad-luck bank
There were hopeless sinners
Sweepstake winners
They danced with the farmer's daughter
Capered with the corporate lawyers
But it all came down to you and I

But it all came down to you and I

But it all came down to you and I

But it all came down to you and I

There was laughing in the night
Sugar in the shade
There were backstab
Handshakes made on faith
We were never out of time
And we never entertained
Anybody said out of habit
That the wind was going to change
There were restless misfits
Teething biscuits
Bodies full of penny wishes
Parties full of pretty dishes
Side by side with the birds and bees
And we never sang grace
And never ever took a knee
With the saints and ramblers
Movie star handlers

High above the aviary
Underneath the cemetery

And we never wondered why

'Cause the sun was in our eyes
There was seed for the field
There was grease for the wheel
We were drinking with the luminaries
Eating with the visionaries
But it all came down to you and I

But it all came down to you and I

But it all came down to you and I

But it all came down to you and I

But it all came down to you and I

But it all came down to you and I
