[00:01.000] 作曲 : Brandon Flowers
[00:09.999] The parking lot is rammed with shotgun pickup trucks
[00:19.307] At the Jones Rubber plant where all the guys end up
[00:28.449] Beer-drinking boy scouts living life like they ain't stuck
[00:38.247] On these quicksand streets with their girls in a sling
[00:48.502] I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing
[00:56.281]
[00:57.805] Around here, we all take up our cross and hang on His holy name
[01:08.522] But the cards that I was dealt will get you thrown out of the game
[01:17.897] Hey momma, can't you see your boy is wrapped up in the strangle silk
[01:27.454] Of this cobweb town where culture is king?
[01:36.964] I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing
[01:43.928]
[01:46.944] I close my eyes and think of the water
[01:55.902] Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
[02:02.531]
[02:06.889] Down at Old Mill Park, half the town's in tow
[02:16.014] To crown the Bathing Beauty of the rodeo
[02:25.049] While her mother fights back proud tears a young cowboy gives the nod
[02:34.319] The chute opens, bull draws blood, and the gift is accepted by God
[02:43.977] The chute opens, bull draws blood, and the gift is accepted by God
[02:53.535] In this barbed wire town of barbed wire dreams
[03:02.804] I'm in my bedroom on the verge of a terrible thing
[03:10.162]
[03:12.791] I close my eyes and think of the water
[03:21.662] Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
[03:30.850] I close my eyes and think of the water
[03:40.778] Out at the Salt Creek when I was young
