歌詞
[Intro] [Verse] Hands black with oil and dust Left the wrenches to the rust Old man coughing in the hall I didn't answer to his call I had a suitcase and a song Thought I knew where I belong [Pre-Chorus] The highway was a hollow lie Underneath a heavy sky Every mile was a debt I owed To the man I left on the road [Chorus] Lord, hear the baritone moan I’m coming back to the bone Wash the grease from my soul Make this broken engine whole It’s a ragged kind of prayer In the smoke and the basement air [Verse] Found him in a faded chair Silver light upon his hair The Wurlitzer starts to hum Like the man I’ve become Down beneath the chapel floor I can’t run away no more [Hook] Deep pocket, heavy beat Walking on these tired feet Low brass, let it scream Waking from a dead-end dream [Bridge] The upright bass is a heartbeat now Wiping sweat from a guilty brow The shaker’s rattling like the rain Trying to drown out all the pain Forgive the son who went away I’ve got nothing left to say [Chorus] Lord, hear the baritone moan I’m coming back to the bone Wash the grease from my soul Make this broken engine whole It’s a ragged kind of prayer In the smoke and the basement air [Post-Chorus] Heal the metal, heal the man Hold the grease inside my hand Heal the metal, heal the man Doing everything I can [Breakdown] The sax is weeping for the years Mixing oil with the salty tears Low and heavy, deep and wide Nowhere left for a man to hide [Chorus] Lord, hear the baritone moan I’m coming back to the bone Wash the grease from my soul Make this broken engine whole It’s a ragged kind of prayer In the smoke and the basement air [Outro]
