Maria's Little Elbows

Maria's Little Elbows


well I'll bet my Maria's got an elbow full of lonely
now here's a little prayer so that she might get some sleep
don't let her face get skinned by the sun today
don't let it in when it comes knocking at your door

loneliness
loneliness
loneliness
oh oh

sometimes you feel you've got the emptiest arms in the whole world
try to make sense but it always comes out absurd
sleeping horses keep eating up your flowers
don't let it in when it comes kicking at your door

loneliness
loneliness
loneliness
oh
came kicking at my door

she said I've really come to hate my body
and all the things that it requires in this world
I bet you're out there getting drunk with all your friends
and it'll get you in the bathroom of a texaco

loneliness
loneliness
loneliness
oh
came kicking at my door


玛丽亚的小小臂弯


呃我敢打赌我体内的玛丽亚臂弯充满孤寂
愿我微弱的祈祷使她得以休憩
今天就别让她的脸被太阳遮蔽
当它敲响你们的门别让它来屋里

哦
孤寂
孤寂
孤寂

有时你觉得全世界唯有你双臂空空荡荡
试图弄清却往往落得荒唐
沉睡的马儿不断啃食你的花朵
当它蹄响你们的门别让它来屋里

哦
孤寂
孤寂
孤寂
蹄响我的门

她说我已厌恶自己的肉体
以及它在这世上的一切所需
我打赌你正与朋友在外面烂醉如泥
它将你带入某个德士古的盥洗室

哦
孤寂
孤寂
孤寂
蹄响我的门
