Long Road Out Of Eden – Eagles
Nghệ sĩ: Eagles
Hợp Âm Chuẩn
Verse 1→ Phiên khúc
MOON SHINING DOWN THROUGH THE PALMS
SHADOWS MOVING ON THE SAND
SOMEBODY WHISPERING THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM
DUSTY RIFLE IN HIS TREMBLING HAND
SOMEBODY TRYING JUST TO STAY ALIVE
HE GOT PROMISES TO KEEP
OVER THE OCEAN IN AMERICA
FAR AWAY AND FAST ASLEEP
Refrain 1
SILENT STARS BLINKING IN THE BLACKNESS OF AN ENDLESS SKY
COLD SILVER SATELLITES, GHOSTLY CARAVANS PASSING BY
GALAXIES UNFOLDING, NEW WORLDS BEING BORN
PILGRIMS AND PRODIGALS CREEPING TOWARD THE DAWN
AND IT’S A LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN
Verse 2→ Phiên khúc
(same as verse 1)
MUSIC BLASTING FROM AN SUV
ON A BRIGHT AND SUNNY DAY
ROLLING DOWN THE INTERSTATE
IN THE GOOD OL’ U.S.A.
HAVING LUNCH AT THE PETROLEUM CLUB
SMOKING FINE CIGARS AND SWAPPING LIES
“GIMME ANOTHER SLICE OF THAT BARBEQUE BRISKET”
“GIMME ANOTHER PIECE OF THAT PECAN PIE”
Refrain 2
FREEWAYS FLICKERING, CELL PHONES CHIMING A TUNE
WE’RE RIDING TO UTOPIA,
ROAD MAP SAYS WE’LL BE ARRIVING SOON
CAPTAINS OF THE OLD ORDER CLINGING TO THE REINS
ASSURING US THESE ACHES INSIDE ARE ONLY GROWING PAINS
BUT IT’S A LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN
()
Refrain 3
BACK HOME I WAS SO CERTAIN
THE PATH WAS VERY CLEAR
BUT NOW I HAVE TO WONDER
WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE?
I’M NOT COUNTING ON TOMORROW
AND I CAN’T TELL WRONG FROM RIGHT
BUT I’D GIVE ANYTHING TO BE THERE IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHT
Verse 3→ Phiên khúc
(same as verse 1)
WEAVING DOWN THE AMERICAN HIGHWAY
THROUGH THE LITTER, AND THE WRECKAGE, AND THE CULTURAL JUNK
BLOATED WITH ENTITLEMENT, LOADED ON PROPAGANDA
NOW WE’RE DRIVING DAZED AND DRUNK
BEEN DOWN THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS, THE ROAD TO MANDALAY
MET THE GHOST OF CAESAR ON THE APPIAN WAY
HE SAID, “IT’S HARD TO STOP THIS BINGING, ONCE YOU GET A TASTE,
BUT THE ROAD TO EMPIRE IS A BLOODY STUPID WASTE”
Outro
BEHOLD THE BITTEN APPLE, THE POWER OF THE TOOLS
BUT ALL THE KNOWLEDGE IN THE WORLD IS OF NO USE TO FOOLS
AND IT’S A LONG ROAD, OUT OF EDEN
