Song That I Heard

歌詞

In the same reckless city Where great Antonio died On the island in the river With a mountain at its side I came to scatter ashes Of the bridges I've burned And I know the name of the song that I heard Yeah, I know the name of the song I heard Like a moonlight mathematician I subtracted my concerns And I multiplied my options and divided my returns Sacrificed the angel who was tugging at my shirt I was already claimed by the song that I heard Yeah, already chained to the song that I heard From the corner of my eye I caught the shadow of a girl But my shoes were tied together and my face was in the dirt Her gentle eyes said everything before she said a word And I knew I was changed by the song that I heard Yeah, I knew right away by the song I heard In the cult of desperation he stayed just behind the curve And no one here admits we're getting more than we deserve I was born a first child, she was born a third We were already named by the songs that we heard Yeah, already claimed by the songs we heard Did I make you out at Phoenix from the ashes of a bird? Did we build our palace and watch it as it burned? It's kind of like a lesson that had to be unlearned Like a fool maker Fall-taker Forsaker Heartbreaker Earthquaker Soul-shaker Soothsayer Moon prayer Sun slayer Yeasayer Mistaker Rattlesnaker We are already changed by the songs we heard
