Anthem Of The Sun

Grateful Dead( 死之華合唱團 ) Anthem Of The Sun歌詞
1.That's It For The Other One

The other day they waited, the sky was dark and faded,
Solemnly they stated, 'he has to die, you know he has to die.'
All the children learnin', from books that they were burnin',
Every leaf was turnin'; to watch him die, you know he had to
die.

The summer sun looked down on him, his mother could but frown on
him,
And all the others sound on him, but it doesn't seem to matter.

And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended,
His mind remained unbended, he had to die, you know he had to
die.

Spanish lady comes to me, she lays on me this roes.
It rainbow spirals round and round it trembles and explodes.
It left a smoking crater of my mind i like to blow away.
But the heat came 'round and busted me for smiling on a cloudy
day.

Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around,
Comin', around, in a circle
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle,
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle.

Skippin' through the lily fields i came across an empty space,
It trembled and exploded, left a bus stop in it's place.
The bus came by and i got on, that's when it all began,
There was cowboy neal at the wheel of the bus to never ever
land.

Comin', comin', comin' around, comin', around,
Comin', around, in a circle
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' around, in a circle,
Comin', comin', comin' around, comin' in a circle.

And when the day had ended, with rainbow colors blended,
Their minds remained unbended,
He had to die, oh, you know he had to die.


2.New Potato Caboose

Last leaf fallen bare earth where green was born,
Black madonna two eagles hang against a cloud,
Sun comes up blood red wind yells among the stone,
All graceful instruments are known.

When the windows all are broken and your love's become a
toothless crone,
When the voices of the storm sound like a crowd,
Winter morning breaks, you're all alone.

The eyes are blind, blue visions, all a seer can own,
And touching makes the flesh to cry out loud
This ground on which the seed of love is sown,
All graceful instruments are known.


3.Born Cross-eyed

Seems like i've been here before,
Fuzzy then and still so obscure, good-bye, good-bye, good-bye,
good-bye.
And i don't want to see anybody cry,
Meet me some mornin' in the sweet by and by, by and by, by and
by.

Song commin' on,
So pleasin' to see, come and gone, good-bye, good-bye, good-bye,
good-bye,
You don't have to tell me why,
Meet me some mornin' in the sweet by and by, by and by, by and
by.

It ain't cause i'm the only one left darlin',
Bout the time the sun rises west,
Feelin' groovy, lookin' fine.

Think i'll come back here again,
Every now and then from time to time.
My how lovely you are, my dear,
The ball game has gone much too far my dear,
Sing to me, do your thing to me,
I'll meet you some mornin', meet you some mornin',
In the sweet by and by, by and by, by and by.


4.Alligator

Sleepy alligator in the noon day sun,
Lyin' by the river just like he usually done.
Call for his whiskey, he can call for his tea,
Call all he want to, but he can't call for me.

Oh no! i've been there before,
And i ain't gonna come around here any more.
Creepy alligator coming all around the bend,
Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends,
I checked my memory and i checked it quick, yes i will.
I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick.

Oh no! well i've been there before,
And i ain't gonna come around here any more.

Sailin' down the river in an old canoe,
A bunch of and an old tennis shoe.
Out of the river all ugly and green,
Came the biggest old alligator that i've ever seen!

Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out,
Contracted the union, put the beggars to rout.
Screamin' and yellin', he was pickin' his chops,
He never runs he just stumbles and hops.
Just out of prison on ten dollars bail,
Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail.


5.Caution

(do not stop on tracks)

I went down one day, i went down one day to see a gypsy woman,
Just one old day, yes i did,
I want to find out, i want to find out,
I want to find out, i want to find out now,
What's wrong with me and my baby.
We ain't gettin' down like we used to do,
I mean it's pretty good now, but there was a time,
When it didn't work too well.

I went down to see this gypsy woman, you understand,
I told her my story, i told her what was goin' on.
And she told me, man she said, all you need, all you need,
She said all you got to have, oh lord,
Just a touch of mojo's hand, oh bring it back on,
And it feels pretty good, yes indeed.
