Let the Records Play - Live Songtext
von Pearl Jam

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

Taken forsaken
Not one for faking
Oh, needing the feeling
He lets the records play

When the shot glass talks, he knows to listen up
And let the drummers drum again
When the future dim the cigarette light′s in
And vaporizer green light grim


Shaken, forsaken
What's that you′re taking?
Bleeding the feeling
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 my feet
On my feet again, whoa

Shaken, foresaken
What′s that you're taking?
Needing the feeling
He lets the records play

Shaken but faking
Not one for faking
Kneeling the healing
He lets the records play
There′s wisdom in his ways
