Luyện nghe bài hát Lost In The Flood

The ragamuffin gunner is returnin' home like a hungry
He walks through town all alone--"He must be the fort," he hears the high school girls say
His countryside's burnin' with wolfman fairies dressed in for homicide
The hit-and-run sanctuary, 'neath a holy stone they hide
They're breakin' and crosses with a spastic's reelin' perfection
Nuns run bald through Vatican halls, pregnant, immaculate conception
And wrecked on Main Street from drinking unholy blood
Sticker sweet as Gunner breathes deep, his ankles caked in mud
And I said, "Hey, gunner man, that's qucksand, quicksand, that ain't mud
Have you thrown your to the war, or did you lose them in the flood?"

pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
Races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super
He 'er low on the hip, on the side he's got "Bound for Glory" in red, white and blue flash paint
He leans on the hood telling racing stories, the call him Jimmy the Saint
Well, that blaze-and-noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin'
He rides head first a hurricane and disappears into a point
And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell, that is, nothin' left you could sell
Just junk all across the horizon, a highwayman's farewell
And I said, "Hey kid, you think that's oil? Man, that oil, that's blood"
I wonder what he was thinking he hit that storm, or was he just lost in the flood?

Eighth Avenue sailors in satin shirts in the air
Some storefront incarnation of Maria, puttin' on me the stare
And Bronx's best apostle stands his hand on his own hardware
Everything stops, you hear quick shots, the cops come up for air
And now the whiz-bang gang uptown, they're shootin' up the street
And that cat the Bronx starts lettin' loose, but he gets blown right off his feet
And some kid blastin' 'round the corner, but a cop puts him right away
He lays on the street holding his leg, screaming in Spanish, still breathing when I walked away
And somebody said, "Hey man, did you see that? His body hit the street such a beautiful thud"
I wonder what the dude was sayin', or was he just in the flood?
Hey man, did you see that, those poor cats are sure up
I what they were gettin' into, or were they just lost in the flood?
