Europop

(アルバム： The Score - 2022)

When the harvest had failed and the fields turned to dust
My scythe and my plow turned to ruin and rust
My eyes full of flies and my heart full of hurt
My love came to find me, I was laying in the dirt
She said:

"In the land where the sun is always setting
And the desert flowers bloom
There's a town where they won't know your name
And they can't sing your tune"

"You must do what you must", she said, "steal your brother's goat
Take him to the market and let them slit his throat"
She said, "money to be made," she said, "enough to ride the train
To the town where nobody will ever know our names"

Oh, the land where the sun is always setting
And the desert flowers bloom
There's a town where they won't know our names
And they can't sing our tune

And though the goat was all he had, I stole my brother's beast
I took him to the village where the chefs prepared a feast
They offered me a piece of silver, they offered me some gold
They sharpened up their knives and said "the breast will cut to bone"

In the land where the sun is always setting
And the desert flowers bloom
There's a town where they won't know our names
And they can't sing our tune

I stared into the creature's eyes and pity struck my chest
I dived into it's lifeblood and Jesus made me blessed
I was swimming in an ocean, I was bathed in all it's glory
I saw the light, knew my path and sang a different story

Oh, the land where the sun is always setting
And the desert flowers bloom
There's a town where they won't know our names
And they can't sing our tune

My goat and I, we ride the train now
Hopping the boxcar line
We travel with the setting sun
And fool the old clock's chime
(One, two, three)

In the land where the sun is always setting
And the desert flowers bloom
There's a town where they won't know our names
And they can't sing our tune
