Barstools & Dreamers
(专辑: Widespread Panic - 1991)
The
barstools built for dreamers We'll fit fine and find All the
worlds dreams have died But tonight they're only taking thirsty people Who've been pulling on their drinks From a
glass that lies a
bar length wide And in the
drink there swim the
swimmers And those whose swims have dried Take another look, take another pull Take another pour, take another pull Before you take a
ride Heir to an open barstool, right there's one by "Mary the
Fool" Mary sees the
bartender's knees And she says that it's a
bottle that she was born to be And I
say, "that's cool... just right, right for a
fool" Thinking whiskey, she bought me a
drink I
won't cross a
word of what the
lady thinks Pray I
don't cross what the
lady thinks She's been thinking out too loud though This time I
can't hear the
pinball machine Well there's a
birdman playing tiny little sideways bongos Pulling all those words down, down, down Look at how the
numbers glow In the
glass there rolls the
iron ball And a
quarter states the
toll that's all (that's all) You take another look, take another pull Take another pour, take another pull Before you take a
chance Look at your hands, they're just right for a
new kinda dance Just forget what your bodies just done And ride all the
waves that the
drums rest on Like the
smallest babies do, ya' know the
little newborn babies do If there's some food that the
moon feeds on A
baby won't hold it back, won't hold it back Baby doesn't know what I
just said Baby doesn't know the
words that I
just used Babies haven't learned any words yet Babies haven't been used by any words yet People only think, people only talk People only think in words they already know The
babies haven't learned any words yet (no) They only know what the
people feel They don't really care what the
people think They only care what the
people feel Music only knows what the
people feel Babies only care and hear what the
people feel, fee
