Luyện nghe bài hát Lost In The Flood

The ragamuffin gunner is returnin' home like a runaway
He walks through town all alone--"He be from the fort," he hears the high school girls say
His countryside's burnin' with wolfman fairies dressed in for homicide
The hit-and-run plead sanctuary, a holy stone they hide
They're beams and crosses with a spastic's reelin' perfection
Nuns run through Vatican halls, pregnant, pleadin' immaculate conception
And everybody's wrecked on Main Street from drinking unholy
Sticker smiles sweet as breathes deep, his ankles caked in mud
And I said, "Hey, gunner man, that's qucksand, quicksand, that ain't mud
Have you thrown senses 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 super eight
He rides 'er low on the hip, on the side he's got "Bound for Glory" in red, white and flash paint
He leans on the hood racing stories, the kids call him Jimmy the Saint
Well, that blaze-and-noise boy, he's gunnin' that bitch loaded to blastin'
He rides head first into a and disappears into a point
And there's nothin' left but some blood where the body fell, is, nothin' left that 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 when he hit that storm, or was he just lost in the flood?

Eighth Avenue sailors in shirts whisper in the air
storefront incarnation of Maria, she's puttin' on me the stare
And Bronx's best apostle stands with his hand on his own
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 blastin' 'round the corner, but a cop puts him right away
He lays on the street holding his leg, something in Spanish, still breathing when I walked away
And somebody said, "Hey man, did you see His body hit the street with such a beautiful thud"
I what the dude was sayin', or was he just lost in the flood?
Hey man, did you see that, those poor cats are sure up
I wonder they were gettin' into, or were they just lost in the flood?
