Luyện nghe bài hát Lost In The Flood

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

That pure brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock super eight
He rides 'er low on the hip, on the side got "Bound for Glory" in red, white and blue flash paint
He on the hood telling racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy the Saint
Well, that blaze-and-noise boy, he's gunnin' that loaded to blastin' point
He rides head first into a hurricane and disappears a point
And nothin' left but some blood where the body fell, that is, nothin' left that you could sell
Just all across the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell
And I said, "Hey kid, you think that's Man, that ain't oil, that's blood"
I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm, or was he just 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 apostle stands with his hand on his own hardware
Everything stops, you hear quick shots, the cops come up for air
And now the whiz-bang from uptown, they're shootin' up the street
And that cat from the Bronx starts lettin' loose, but he gets right off his feet
And some kid comes blastin' 'round the corner, but a cop him right away
He lays on the street his leg, screaming something in Spanish, still breathing when I walked away
And somebody said, "Hey man, did you see that? His body hit the street with a beautiful thud"
I wonder what the dude was sayin', or was he just lost in the
Hey man, did you see that, those poor cats are messed up
I wonder what they were gettin' into, or were they just in the flood?
