歌词

[00:02.73] They pulled the stars down one by one
[00:09.46] Hauled up the moon to shine upon
[00:15.57] A velvet curtain rising
[00:22.96] Now her puppet has cut his strings
[00:29.63] The footlights glare
[00:31.64] The trumpets blare
[00:36.24] Why is your face drawn on so glum, old chum
[00:42.90] Paintbrush dragging on a drum
[00:49.50] The rim shot on the punch line that you fumbled
[00:56.22] The crowd went home and left you
[01:02.71] For dead
[01:04.26] My old wooden head
[01:09.72] Took the thimble and the thread
[01:15.68] Choked back tears like a cymbal
[01:22.44] The breath is slow and shallow too
[01:28.78] The sky is bright Venetian blue
[01:35.68] The cardboard sun is all ablaze
[01:42.20] The air is painted Clifford Brown
[01:48.95] Caressing "Yesterdays"
[01:55.25] The steady gaze of your glass eye
[02:01.69] Head in a basket smiling still
[02:07.81] Free of will, free of wisdom
[02:14.77] Can't feel my fingers anymore
[02:21.46] Can't raise my hand and ask for more
[02:27.55] Dance my doll across the floor
[02:34.32] Or fire a flag from a pistol
[02:39.09] ("Bang")
[02:41.02] They pulled the stars down one by one
[02:47.44] Hauled up the moon to wish upon
[02:53.88] The puppet finally cut his strings
[03:00.17] And free at last from earthly things
[03:06.78] He's dancing on the ceiling
[03:13.03] With a showgirl in a feather dress
[03:19.12] Time is meaningless
[03:25.71] We carried you on buckled limbs
[03:32.25] Through mournful airs and martyrs hymns
[03:38.46] Then one blue and one more yellow pill
[03:44.65] One keeps you quiet
[03:46.35] One keeps you still
[03:50.98] You sang "The Way You Looked Tonight"
[03:57.31] Your voice is ringing true and clear
[04:03.70] Then you wore them down like candlelight
[04:09.46] And in the darkness
[04:12.89] You'd best beware
[04:15.25] And in the darkness
[04:19.37] You'd best beware
[04:21.19] You'd best beware
[04:22.57] You'd best beware
[04:24.05] I used to love him
[04:28.60] When I used to care
[04:33.40] Canopy
[04:34.76] Satin trim
[04:36.71] Slowly closing
[04:41.30] The puppet has cut his strings
