Luyện nghe bài hát When I Was Cruel no. 2

I exit through the spotlight
I out into thin air
Into a so rarefied
"Here the bride"

Not aside, they snide, "she's number four"
"There's number three by the door"
in the know, don't even flatter her, they go one better
"She was selling in a trade show when I met her"

at her now
She's to yawn
She looks like she was to it
But it was so easier
I was cruel

She out her arms to me
"another melody?"
So she can dance her out on the floor
The captains of just lie there where they fall

In an eau-de-nil and pale
A satin sash and velvet
She straightens the tipsy of her spouse
While hers a honey house

There'll be no sorrows to drown
Early in the morning in evening gown
But it was so easier
When I was

The entrance hall was arranged with and ushers
Who turned out to be the younger wives nursing crushes
Parting the waves of those few feint
Fingers once are now too heavy to extend

The ghostly first wife up on stage whispering to raucous talkers
Spilling family out to flunkies and castrato walkers
See that
that scene
the "Dancing Queen"

Two editors like playground sneaks
a book on which of them is going to last the week
One of them calls to me and he says, "I you"
"You gave me this back in eighty-two"
"You were a child then with a record to plug"
"And I was a shaven-headed thug"
"Things haven't really changed much"
"One of us is still getting too much"

There are some things I report
The memory of his retort
But it was so much
I was cruel

at me now
She's to yawn
She looks like she was to it
Ah, but it was so much
When I was
