[00:00.000] 作词 : Joni Mitchell [00:01.000] 作曲 : Joni Mitchell [00:31.77]I met a young soldier [00:34.58]He said his name was Killer Kyle [00:41.05]He was shakin' all over [00:44.23]Like a night-frightened child [00:48.09]This is his story [00:50.98]It's a tough one for me to sing [00:56.77]Hard as the squawk and the flap [01:00.33]And the beat of--the beat of black wings [01:07.02] [01:29.41]"They gave me a gun," he said [01:32.43]"They gave me a mission [01:38.02]For the power and the glory-- [01:42.92]Propaganda--piss on 'em [01:46.01]There's a war zone inside me-- [01:49.00]I can feel things exploding-- [01:54.19]I can't even hear the ****ing music playing [01:57.88]For the beat of--the beat of black wings." [02:02.90] [02:26.08]He said, "I never had nothin'-- [02:30.22]Nothin' I could believe in [02:36.21]My girl killed our unborn child [02:40.52]Without even grievin'! [02:43.34]I put my hands on her belly [02:46.33]To feel the kid kickin'--damn! [02:51.97]She'd been to some clinic [02:55.62]Oh--the beat of black wings." [02:59.56] [03:23.61]"They want you--they need you-- [03:28.06]They train you to kill-- [03:32.90]To be a pin on some map-- [03:37.04]Some vicarious thrill-- [03:39.69]The old hate the young [03:42.40]That's the whole heartless thing [03:48.90]The old pick the wars [03:50.83]We die in 'em [03:51.99]To the beat of--the beat of black wings." [03:56.78] [04:20.81]There's a man drawing pictures [04:23.87]On the sidewalk with chalk [04:30.48]Just as fast as he draws 'em [04:34.29]Rain come down and wash 'em off [04:37.84]"Keep the drinks comin' girl [04:40.90]'Til I can't feel anything [04:45.92]I'm just a chalk mark in a rainstorm [04:50.70]I'm just the beat of black wings."
