Luyện nghe bài hát Lost In The Flood

The ragamuffin is returnin' home like a hungry runaway
He walks through town all alone--"He be from the fort," he hears the high school girls say
His countryside's with wolfman fairies dressed in drag for homicide
The hit-and-run plead sanctuary, 'neath a holy stone they
They're breakin' beams and crosses with a reelin' perfection
run bald through Vatican halls, pregnant, pleadin' immaculate conception
And everybody's wrecked on Main Street from 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 senses to the war, or did you them in the flood?"

pure American brother, dull-eyed and empty-faced
Races Sundays in Jersey in a stock super eight
He rides 'er low on the hip, on the he's got "Bound for Glory" in red, white and blue flash paint
He leans on the hood telling 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 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 the horizon, a real highwayman's farewell
And I said, "Hey kid, you that's oil? Man, that ain't oil, that's blood"
I wonder what he was thinking when he hit that storm, or was he just lost in the

Eighth Avenue in satin shirts whisper in the air
storefront incarnation of Maria, she's puttin' on me the stare
And Bronx's best apostle with his hand on his own hardware
Everything stops, you hear five 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 loose, but he gets blown right off his feet
And some kid comes blastin' 'round the corner, but a cop puts him right
He lays on the street holding his leg, screaming something in Spanish, 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 lost in the flood?
Hey man, did you see that, those poor are sure messed up
I wonder what they were gettin' into, or were just lost in the flood?
