Luyện nghe bài hát Lost In The Flood

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

That pure brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
Races Sundays in Jersey in a Chevy stock 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 a hurricane and disappears into a point
And there's 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 he was thinking when he hit that storm, or was he just lost in the flood?

Eighth Avenue sailors in satin whisper in the air
Some storefront of Maria, she's puttin' on me the stare
And Bronx's apostle stands with his hand on his own hardware
Everything stops, you hear five quick shots, the come up for air
And now the whiz-bang gang from uptown, they're shootin' up the
And that cat from the Bronx lettin' loose, but he gets blown right off his feet
And some kid comes blastin' the corner, but a cop puts 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 such 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 are sure messed up
I wonder they were gettin' into, or were they just lost in the flood?
