歌曲名 Way out West

歌手名 Andrew Bird

Andrew Bird: Elder green is dead and gone

Lost his way going to town

And I don't know who he is what he's done

But it sure sounds sweet rolling off the tongue

Yeah and it sure sounds sweet rolling off the tongue

Now if I was in an old hotel

That happened to be on fire

Well maybe Id jump or maybe Id reconsider

Yeah maybe Id just climb a little higher

Like an oily rag in a dusty corner

Like a box of matches near an open flame

Id jump 18 storeys from a burning tower

Oh sooner than Id face this world of shame

Yeah Id skip this town and jump a westbound train

And you take these fingerling's from my fingers

Spoken with your breath

With white washed eyes and flies that linger

Seems rather forlorn and bereft

I said where you going with that sack

on your shoulder Willie

As if I couldn't have guessed

And he says he's gonna get the hell out of slag valley

And he's gonna take a little stroll way out west

Yeah he's gonna take a little stroll way out west

If I was in an old hotel

That happened to be on fire

Well maybe Id jump or maybe Id reconsider

Then Id just climb little higher

Like an oily rag in a dusty corner

Like a box of matches near an open flame

Id get so far away from that old matchbox hotel

Id skip this town and jump a westbound train

Oh man anything to get away from this ol' shame

And I'd take these fingerlings from my fingers

Spoken with your breath

White washed eyes and flies that linger

Seems rather forlorn and bereft

And I said where you going with that sack

on your shoulder Willie

As if I couldn't have guessed

He says I'm gonna get the hell out of slag valley

And I'm gonna take a little stroll way out west

Yeah I wanna take a little stroll way out west
