歌词
My phantom brother came to me
His backlit face was hard to see
I couldn't move
I couldn't scream
You can't un-hear Beethoven's Fifth
This human heart's an aggregate
Competing feelings so disparate
And strange
Life's a solitary song
No one to clap or sing along
It sounds so sweet, and then it's gone
So suddenly
♪
My ageing mother steeled herself
Against the gravity she felt
Braced for another fainting spell
Fell in her mind through a trap door
We picked her up off of the floor
When she came to, her throat was sore
And she spoke
Life's a game of Solitaire
Amusement rides at county fairs
The Tilt-A-Whirl of our despair
Ends suddenly
Where'd it go?
♪
Life's a lonely love affair
Kaleidoscope beyond compare
It vanishes into thin air
So suddenly
