[00:01.07]A Singer Must Die - Leonard Cohen
[00:06.18]Now the courtroom is quiet, but who will confess.
[00:11.49]
[00:12.05]Is it true you betrayed us? The answer is Yes.
[00:16.85]
[00:17.79]Then read me the list of the crimes that are mine,
[00:23.14]I will ask for the mercy that you love to decline.
[00:27.88]all And the ladies go moist, and the judge has no choice,
[00:33.47]
[00:34.28]a singer must die for the lie in his voice.
[00:39.75]
[00:40.31]And I thank you, I thank you for doing your duty,
[00:46.15]you keepers of truth, you guardians of beauty.
[00:51.15]
[00:52.08]Your vision is right, my vision is wrong,
[00:57.57]I'm sorry for smudging the air with my song.
[01:02.53]
[01:14.98]Oh, the night it is thick, defences my are hid
[01:20.28]
[01:21.53]in the clothes of a woman I would like to forgive,
[01:26.40]
[01:27.40]in the rings of her silk, in the hinge of her thighs,
[01:33.01]where I have to go begging in beauty's disguise.
[01:38.63]Oh goodnight, goodnight, my night after night,
[01:44.12]
[01:44.62]my night after night, after night, after night, after night, after night.
[01:53.87]
[01:55.50]am I so afraid that I listen to you,
[02:00.06]
[02:01.82]your sun glassed protectors they do that to you.
[02:06.49]
[02:07.74]It's their ways to detain, their ways to disgrace,
[02:13.56]their knee in your balls and their fist in your face.
[02:18.36]Yes and long live the state by whoever it's made,
[02:23.95]sir, I didn't see nothing, I was just getting home late.
