[00:00.00] 作词 : Cave [00:01.00] 作曲 : Cave [00:22.98]I am tall and I am thin [00:26.48]Of an enviable hight [00:30.17]And I've been known to be quite handsome [00:34.29]In a certain angle and in certain light [00:41.33]Well I entered into O'Malley's [00:43.33]Said, "O'Malley I have a thirst" [00:47.07]O'Malley merely smiled at me [00:51.26]Said "You wouldn't be the first" [00:58.13]I knocked on the bar and pointed [01:00.25]To a bottle on the shelf [01:02.94]And as O'Malley poured me out a drink [01:07.68]I sniffed and crossed myself [01:13.81]My hand decided that the time was nigh [01:17.19]And for a moment it slipped from view [01:20.69]And when it returned, it fairly burned [01:24.50]With confidence anew [01:30.25]Well the thunder from my steely fist [01:33.81]Made all the glasses jangle [01:37.51]When I shot him, I was so handsome [01:41.32]It was the light, it was the angle [01:46.32]Huh! Hmmmmmm [02:13.88]"Neighbours!" I cried, "Friends!" I screamed [02:15.32]I banged my fist upon the bar [02:17.01]"I bear no grudge against you!" [02:18.20]And my mother****er felt long and hard [02:23.20]"I am the man for which no God waits [02:26.20]But for which the whole world yearns [02:29.90]I'm marked by darkness and by blood [02:33.77]And one thousand powder-burns" [02:38.53]Well, you know those fish with the swollen lips [02:43.84]That clean the ocean floor [02:46.85]When I looked at poor O'Malley's wife [02:50.66]That's exactly what I saw [02:53.15]I jammed the barrel under her chin [03:00.09]And her face looked raw and vicious [03:03.72]Her head it landed in the sink [03:07.72]With all the dirty dishes [03:13.34]Her little daughter Siobhan [03:17.03]Pulled beers from dusk till down [03:20.47]And amongst the townfolk she was a bit of a joke [03:24.47]But she pulled the best beer in town [03:30.97]I swooped magnificent upon her [03:33.85]As she sat ************vering in her grief [03:37.40]Like the Madonna painted on the church-house wall [03:41.28]In whale's blood and banana leaf [03:50.35]Her throat it crumbled in my fist [03:53.79]And I spun heroically around [03:54.78]To see Caffrey rising from his seat [03:57.35]I shot that mother ****er down [03:58.78] [04:03.09]Mmmmmmmmmm Yeah Yeah Yeah [04:32.29]"I have no free will", I sang [04:34.29]As I flew about the murder [04:38.48]Mrs. Richard Holmes, she screamed [04:41.48]You really should have heard her [04:46.92]I sang and I laughed, I howled and I wept [04:51.94]I panted like a pup [04:54.71]I blew a hole in Mrs. Richard Holmes [04:58.01]And her hu************and stupidly stood up [05:04.25]As he screamed, "You are an evil man" [05:07.12]And I paused a while to wonder [05:10.94]"If I have no free will then how can I [05:14.37]Be morally culpable, I wonder" [05:21.50]I shot Richard Holmes in the stomach [05:25.00]And gingerly he sat down [05:28.00]And he whispered weirdly, "No offense" [05:32.56]And then lay upon the ground [05:41.50]"None taken", I replied to him [05:44.25]To which he gave a little cough [05:44.62]With blazing wings I neatly aimed [05:48.68]And blew his head completely off [05:52.25]I've lived in this town for thirty years [05:58.89]And to no-one I am a stranger [06:01.51]And I put new bullets in my gun [06:05.39]Chamber upon chamber [06:09.89]And I turned my gun on the bird-like Mr. Brookes [06:18.35]I thought of Saint Francis and his sparrows [06:21.62] [06:25.69]And as I shot down the youthful Richardson [06:27.38]It was St. Sebastian I thought of, and his arrows [06:29.38]Hhhhhhhhhh Mmmmmmmmmmmm [06:58.39]I said, "I want to introduce myself [06:59.81]And I am glad that all you came" [07:02.06]And I leapt upon the bar [07:03.12]And shouted out my name [07:07.50]Well Jerry Bellows, he hugged his stool [07:11.12]Closed his eyes and shrugged and laughed [07:14.43]And with an ashtray as big as a ****ing really big brick [07:19.00]I split his head in half [07:22.94]His blood spilled across the bar [07:28.24]Like a steaming scarlet brook [07:31.00]And I knelt at it's edge on the counter [07:38.19]Wiped the tears away and looked [07:42.75]Well, the light in there was blinding [07:49.06]Full of God and ghosts of truth [07:54.75]I smiled at Henry Davenport [07:55.42]Who made an attempt to move [07:56.92]Well, from the position I was standing [08:01.78]The strangest thing I ever saw [08:04.46]The bullet entered through the top of his chest [08:09.59]And blew his bowels out on the floor [08:16.78]Well I floated down the counter [08:19.65]Showing no remorse [08:22.16]I shot a hole in Kathleen Carpenter [08:25.28]Recently divorced [08:26.41]But remorse i felt and remorse I had [08:33.53]It clung to every thing [08:36.98]From the raven's hair upon my head [08:45.04]To the feathers on my wings [08:56.11]Remorse sqeezed my hand in it's fradulent claw [08:58.17]With it's golden hairless chest [08:59.17]And I glided through the bodies [09:00.73]And killed the fat man Vincent West [09:05.61]Who sat quietly in his chair [09:09.29]A man become a child [09:12.04]And I raised the gun up to his head [09:24.36]Executioner-style [09:24.48]He made no attempt to resist [09:26.11]So fat and dull and lazy [09:30.48]"Did you know I lived in your street?" I said [09:42.11]And he looked at me as though I were crazy [09:47.36]"O", he said, "I had no idea" [09:51.11]And he grew as quiet as a mouse [09:52.86]And the roar of the pistol when it went off [09:54.42]Near blew that hat right off the house [10:17.42]Hmmmmmm Uh Uh [10:27.05]Well, I caught my eye in the mirror [10:30.74]And gave it a long and loving inspection [10:34.55]"There stands some kind of man", I roared [10:44.74]And there did, in the reflection [10:52.68]My hair combed back like a raven's wing [10:53.80]My muscles hard and tight [10:54.49]And curling from the business end of my gun [10:55.99]Was a query-mark of cordite [11:00.05]Well I spun to the left, I spun to the right [11:05.24]And I spun to the left again [11:07.74]"Fear me! Fear me! Fear me!" [11:08.86]But no one did cause they were dead [11:14.05]Huh! Hmmmmmmmmm [11:52.83]And then there were the police sirens wailing [11:54.34]And a bull-horn squelched and blared [11:55.52]"Drop your weapons and come out [11:57.02]With your hands held in the air" [12:04.77]Well, I checked the chamber of my gun [12:07.15]Saw I had one final bullet left [12:11.02]My hand, it looked almost human [12:12.90]As I raised it to my head [12:16.01]"Drop your weapon and come out! [12:23.83]Keep your hands above your head!" [12:27.29]I had one one long hard think about dying [12:31.07]And did exactly what they said [12:37.46]There must have been fifty cops out there [12:40.77]In a circle around O'Malley's bar [12:44.25]"Don't shoot", I cried, "I'm a man unarmed!" [12:48.49]So they put me in their car [12:54.77]And they sped me away from that terrible scene [12:58.84]And I glanced out of the window [13:01.34]Saw O'Malley's bar, saw the cops and the cars [13:04.90]And I started counting on my fingers [13:10.59]Aaaaaah One Aaaaaah Two Aaaaaah Three Aaaaaaah Four [13:36.61]O'Malley's bar O'Malley's bar
