The Matador-Gretchen Peters

[00:00.000] 作曲 : Gretchen Peters [00:02.01]. [00:03.32]. [00:04.88]. [00:14.14]I threw a rose to the matador, [00:17.27]not sure who I was cheering for [00:20.26]My aim was true, my heart was full, [00:23.64]I loved the fighter and the bull [00:29.70]I loved like only a woman can, [00:33.46]a very complicated man [00:36.01]I bound his wounds, I heard his cries, [00:39.45]I gave him truth, I told him lies [00:43.26]. [00:58.40]His rage is made of many things [01:01.91]faithless women, wedding rings [01:04.91]Snakes and snails and alcohol, [01:07.66]his daddy's fist thrown through the wall [01:13.41]Ah but he's beautiful when he's in the ring, [01:17.35]the devil howls, the angels sing [01:20.53]Sparks fly from his fingertips [01:23.54]and words like birds fly from his lips [01:27.41]. [01:29.87]Some man is lyin' in the dirt [01:32.94]Some woman's crying that he's hurt [01:36.19]But he's not alive without the thrill [01:39.62]Without the dance, without the kill [01:45.56]The lights go down, the people roar [01:48.88]They're cheering on the matador [01:52.07]And this is how the story goes [01:55.45]I knew it when I threw the rose [01:59.25]. [02:11.01]I come to each and every show; [02:14.26]the woman in the second row [02:17.20]I watch them in their ancient dance [02:21.45]and I know I never stood a chance [02:26.57]'Cause while other demons prance and clown, [02:30.32]it's vanity that takes you down [02:33.13]I thought that I could be the one, [02:36.84]but I'm just another hanger-on [02:40.65]. [02:42.40]Some man is bleedin' in the dirt [02:44.76] [02:45.56]Some woman's crying that she's hurt [02:48.87]But who are we without the thrill [02:52.12]Without the dance, without the kill [02:58.18]And he is bull and matador [03:01.64]And I'm the mother and the whore [03:04.70]And this is how the story goes [03:08.26]I knew it when I threw the rose [03:12.70] [03:14.56]. [03:23.62]I threw a rose to the matador, [03:26.56]not sure who I was cheering for [03:29.74]My aim was true, my heart was full [03:33.18]I loved the fighter and the bull [03:38.24].
