歌詞
[Verse 1]
I'm scared, I swear, of you
In the tunnel, in the darkness, darkest walls of blue
There's beasts and there's men
And there's something on this Earth that comes back again
Alpha, delta, gamma, everybody's smoked
[Verse 2]
Well, you can't say (You can't say)
That my soul has died away
No, you can't say (You can't say)
That my soul has died away
Oh, well there's trouble in the hall and trouble up the stairs
And trouble in the trouble, that's trouble in the air
Well, please don't say (Please don't say)
That my soul has died away
[Verse 3]
There is a house in New Orleans
Not the one you've heard about, I'm talkin' 'bout another house
They spoke of gold in the cellar
That a Spanish gentleman had left
I broke in one hundred years ago
With a dagger tucked in my vest
Legends of gold, I've tried to hold
The gray half-light of the hallway at night
One, two, three, four, five
We're trapped inside this song
[Verse 4]
Well, we're trapped inside this song
Trapped inside this song
Trapped inside this song, where the nights are so long
(We're) Trapped inside this song
Trapped inside this song
Trapped inside this song, where the nights are so long
Traps inside us all, traps inside us all
It's trapped inside us all (And I'd gotten so tall)
Gotten so tall, gotten so tall
Gotten so tall, tall, tall
