Whisper in Steel Lyrics
作词 : Ruth Garbus
作曲 : Ruth Garbus
La-Z-Boy rocking at the wheel
Of a sick German engine spewing heat on the tar
A sweet swollen hobo at its feet
Swizzled up all potential on the stoop stone bar
A blink on the Brattleboro streets
His coat rubbed with ashes from the smokes and exhaust
Silver wrapper flattened on the seat
Silver cup, dog eat metal on the spit bone frost
Truck engine growels as it screech
Metal mug, chrome expression molded in by design
Like a great dane with rabies taking puffs of cigars
It isn’t ideal
But the living is real
The future is here
Like a whisper in steel
We watch while we’re driving in the car
Best brake for Betty as the truck rumbles on
Stop to refuel at Mobil Star
Fill our tank to the level with that bird bone broth
Shocks, struts, suspension and a ring
Help us up, give us stature, like a wheel well spring
A jug filled with amber props the chin
That's some cold blue dressing on a little bird’s wing
It isn’t ideal
But the living is real
The future is here
Like a whisper in steel
