2.99¢ Blues - Regina Spektor

作词：Regina Spektor

Somewhere far away where I roam

There live my buffalo twin

In our twin buffalo home sweet home

He take good care of my native son

And he call me by my native name

And he he even lets us drink

Spring water on Sundays

Say 2 99 2 99 a gallon

2 99 2 99 a gallon

And somewhere further down the road

Where I also roam

There lives my caterpillar cousin

Beneath a fancy engraved tomb head stone

In the middle of a southern town

Beneath the cemetery burial plot

And he he don't pay rent no more no more

But he sure likes the spot sure likes the spot

Yeah sure likes the spot sure likes the spot

He sure likes the spot sure likes the spot

But in the furthest place I've ever known

Where even I so rarely roam

There lives a boy who just come back from war

His flesh was wounded but he made it back home

His mother calls him by his given name

And the neighbors whisper

How he prefers to be alone

And he get he gets nightmares

About boys dripping blood

Sold for 2 99 2 99 a gallon

C'mon just 2 99 2 99 a gallon

Pay up y'all it's 2 99 2 99 a g-g-gallon

But when I get me all real tired

And I got no more strength to roam

I catch me a horse driven carriage ride

From a local man named Ethan Frome

He don't say much as he tips his hat

And he carries his body as heavy as lead

He could have been flying

Through the snow on his sled

But the wife was in bed

And the horses had to be fed

Besides it's 2 99 2 99 a story

C'mon just 2 99 2 99 a story

Pay up y'all it's just 2 99 2 99 a story

C'mon baby 2 99 2 99 a story

C'mon ya'll it's 2 99 2 99 2 99 2 99

2 99 2 99 2 99 2 99

2 99 2 99 2 99 2 99

2 99 2 99 2 99 99 99 9

2 99 2 99 a story

Pay up y'all it's 2 99 2 99 a story

Pay up it's just 2 99 2 99 a story

Your money it's just 2 99 2 99 a gallon
