The Future (Live) Lyrics
The Future (Live) - Leonard Cohen (莱昂纳德·科恩)
Give me back my broken night
My secret room my secret life
It's lonely here
There's no one left to torture
Give me absolute control
Over every living soul
And lie beside me baby
That's an order
Give me crack and anal sex
Take the only tree that's left
And stuff it up the hole
In your culture
Give back the berlin wall
Give me stalin and st paul
I've seen the future brother
It is murder
Things are going to slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Won't be nothing
You can measure anymore
The blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold
And it has overturned
The order of the soul
When they said repent
Repent repent repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent
Repent repent repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent
Repent repent repent repent
You don't know me from the wind
You never will you never did
I'm the little jew
Who wrote the bible
I've seen nations rise and fall
I've heard their stories heard them all
But loves the only engine of survival
Your servant here he has been told
To say it clear to say it cold
It's over it ain't going
Any further
And now the wheels of heaven stop
You feel the devils riding crop
Get ready for the future
It is murder
Things are going to slide slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Won't be nothing
You can measure anymore
The blizzard the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold and it has overturned
The order of the soul
When they said repent repent repent repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent repent repent repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent repent repent repent repent
There'll be the breaking of the ancient
Western code
Your private life will suddenly explode
There'll phantoms
There'll be fires in the road
And the white man dancing
You'll see the woman
Hanging upside down
Her features covered by her fallen gown
And all the lousy little poets
Coming round
Trying to sound like charlie manson
Give me back the berlin wall
Give me stalin and st paul
Give me love
Give me christ
Or give me hiroshima
Destroy another fetus now
We don't like children anyhow
I've seen the future baby
It is murder
Things are going to slide slide in all directions
Won't be nothing
Won't be nothing
You can measure anymore
The blizzard the blizzard of the world
Has crossed the threshold and it has overturned
The order of the soul
When they said repent repent repent repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent repent repent repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent repent repent repent repent
I wonder what they meant
When they said repent repent repent repent repent
