Let the Records Play - Live Songtext
von Pearl Jam

When the Kingdom comes he puts his records on
And with his blistered thumb hits play
And with the volume up he goes and fills his cup
And lets the drummer′s drum take away the pain, the pain

Breakin', forsaken
Not one for fakin′
Oh, needin' the feelin'
He lets the records play

When the future dims
The cigarette light hymn
Vaporizer a green light grin
And when the shot glass talks
He knows to listen up
Until he′s nice and numb again, again, again

Shakened, awakened
What′s that you're takin′? Oh
Kneelin' is healin′
He lets the records play
There's wisdom in his ways


I′ve been down and I fell so hard and far from grace
I've been hurt and I still recall the flaws on her face
I've been off but I′m on up above my feet, my feet again, oh

Wasted, forsaken
Not one for fakin′
Aw, needin' this feelin′
He lets the records play

Wasted, awakened
Not one for fakin', oh
Kneelin′ is healin'
He lets the records play
There′s wisdom in his ways, oh, oh

Faster, faster

Yeah, this is a-
This song was inspired by
One of the great a-, historians of
Of a, of the greatest historians of our time
One of the greatest of all time
I gotta call Howard's in
Bye McCree
