Reenchantment of the World Lyrics
作词 : Ruth Garbus
作曲 : Ruth Garbus
When you go to town meeting you will see people’s minds
Heaping the clay onto mounds under heaven
Reaping the harvests of offices
And there was government music
The municipal building was just two blocks away
I slipped through the side door the party was underway
The building was old, at least old for the USA
The clocks were built in and the carpet was frayed
The color scheme orbited beige and green-gray
And there was government music
The reenchantment of the world
Sometimes there’s still a shrine
Other times it’s in the mind
Stars and cards help me rhyme my time
Turns out a mirror is completely blind
The reenchantment of the world
Seek and you’ll find seek and you’ll find
Pulleys and dreamweavers, carbon and gas
A long velvet curtain curtain hangs heavy with class
The curlicue stairs of opium smoke as it rise
From the pipe of the godhead as it reclines
And they heard government music
The reenchantment of the world
Sometimes there’s still a shrine
Other times it’s in the mind
Stars and cards help me rhyme my time
Turns out a mirror is completely blind
The reenchantment of the world
