[00:00.00]Dress Rehearsal Rag - Judy Collins (朱蒂·柯林斯)
[00:06.60]Got up sometime in the afternoon
[00:10.15]And you didn't feel like much
[00:13.74]You said to yourself
[00:15.10]Where are you golden boy
[00:16.69]Where is your famous golden touch
[00:20.42]I thought you knew where
[00:22.78]All the elephants lie down
[00:27.02]I thought you were the crown prince
[00:29.27]Of all the wheels in Ivory town
[00:34.21]Look at your body now
[00:36.22]Where there's nothing much to say
[00:40.16]And a bitter voice in the mirror says
[00:43.29]Hey prince you need a shave
[00:47.88]Now if you can manage to get
[00:49.62]Your trembling fingers to behave
[00:53.75]Why don't you try unwrapping
[00:55.85]A stainless steel razor blade
[00:59.29]That's right it's come to this
[01:03.93]It's come to this
[01:07.58]And wasn't it a long way down
[01:15.79]And wasn't it a strange way down
[01:25.97]There's no hot water
[01:28.37]And the cold is running thin
[01:33.52]Well what do you expect
[01:35.29]From the kind of places you've been living in
[01:39.12]Don't drink from that cup
[01:41.28]It's all caked and cracked along the rim
[01:45.54]That's not the electric light my friend
[01:48.96]That is your vision that is dim
[01:53.01]Cover up your face with soap there
[01:57.02]Now you're Santa Claus
[01:59.37]And you've got an A for anyone
[02:02.42]Who will give you his applause
[02:07.24]I thought you were a racing man
[02:10.49]Ah but you couldn't take the pace
[02:13.35]That's a funeral in the mirror
[02:16.18]And it's stopping at your face
[02:19.44]That's right it's come to this
[02:24.17]It's come to this
[02:27.95]And wasn't it a long way down
[02:36.52]And wasn't it a strange way down
[02:45.62]Once there was a path
[02:49.02]And a girl with chestnut hair
[02:52.72]And you spent the summers
[02:55.01]Picking all the berries that grew there
[02:58.98]There were times she was a woman
[03:02.62]There were times she was a child
[03:06.45]As you held her in the shadows
[03:09.19]Where the raspberries grow wild
[03:12.85]And you climbed the highest mountains
[03:16.70]And you sang about the view
[03:20.16]And everywhere you went
[03:22.93]Love went along with you
[03:27.43]That's a hard one to remember
[03:30.29]It makes you clench your fist
[03:33.37]And the veins stand out like highways
[03:37.45]All along your wrist
[03:39.47]And yes it's come to this
[03:43.96]It's come to this
[03:47.66]And wasn't it a long way down
[03:56.71]Wasn't it a strange way down
[04:06.74]You can still find a job
[04:09.21]Go out and talk to a friend
[04:13.06]On the back of every magazine
[04:15.98]There are coupons you can send
[04:19.89]Why don't you join the Rosicrucians
[04:22.86]They will give you back your hope
[04:26.95]You can find your love in diagrams
[04:30.42]In a plain brown envelope
[04:33.33]But you've used up all your coupons
[04:37.95]Except the one that seems
[04:41.01]To be tattooed on your arm
[04:44.20]Along with several thousand dreams
[04:49.08]Now Santa Claus comes forward
[04:51.83]That's a razor in his mitt
[04:54.73]And he puts on his dark glasses
[04:58.04]And he shows you where to hit
[05:01.57]And then the cameras pan
[05:06.12]The stand in stuntman's
