The Residents - The Crash At Crush скачать mp3

THE CRASH AT CRUSH The hopeful heart said go The hopeful heart said go The hopeful heart, the home of art The hopeful heart said go - Go! I did not mean no harm – No! Nor cause to be alarmed – No! I can't escape the fact – No! Of Buster's broken back. Buster was my friend – Yes! I knew him like my skin – Yes! I never thought I'd be – so Sad for such a show – Go! We had a good time for a week Before we crashed them trains Touring two bit Texas towns Along the open plains. Fifty thousand people came To scream and drink and dance And feel the force as chaos met Uncertain circumstance. I was riding on a stallion Elegant and white Proudly looking down upon The fruit of my delight. 'Ol ninety-nine was painted green A thousand and one was red But after they collided, A bunch of folks was dead. Anticipating fury The people crowded close As the fateful hour Plotted its approach. The rumble of the engines Faintly heard at first Was building as suspense Descended like a curse. The trains came roaring down at Fifty miles an hour, Mounting tension like a match Tempting blasting powder. The two machines ripped Into each other like A pair of bears disembowelling Themselves in a fight. The outcry of the crash was Louder than the thunder Pealing after storm clouds Consume the skies of summer. I saw black clouds of iron hail Blocking out the light Dealing death and open flesh It was a wreck all right. Those boilers blew and soon I knew, This sordid episode Had marooned me with mourning and The gutless ghost of hope. It sat upon my shoulder And then became a boulder, Until two trains exploded Leaving me alone and older. Once I hoped this humbug Would lead me to the glory, I would gain by turning smoke Into tomorrow's stories. But the Ghost of Hope said no The Ghost of Hope said no The Ghost of Hope, the Prince of Nope The Ghost of Hope said NO! NO! NO! NO!
