Luyện nghe bài hát Lost In The Flood

The gunner 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 they hide
breakin' beams and crosses with a spastic's reelin' perfection
Nuns run bald through Vatican halls, pregnant, pleadin' conception
And everybody's wrecked on Main Street drinking unholy blood
Sticker smiles sweet as Gunner breathes deep, his 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?"

That 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 side he's got "Bound for Glory" in red, and blue 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' bitch loaded to blastin' point
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, left that you could sell
Just junk all across the horizon, a highwayman's farewell
And I said, "Hey kid, you think 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 sailors in shirts whisper in the air
Some storefront incarnation of Maria, she's on me the stare
And Bronx's best apostle stands with his 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 lettin' loose, but he gets right off his feet
And kid comes 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 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 messed up
I wonder what they were into, or were they just lost in the flood?
