[00:00.000] 作词 : Nathan Tysen[00:00.559] 作曲 : Jason Howland[00:01.119]On my last day in New York, I wander down to the water's edge[00:06.739]I find myself clinging to my father's advice: to reserve judgement[00:13.150]I think about the way New York slabbed me with the wild promise I mistook for meaning[00:19.040]And the whole summer washes over me[00:22.200]The quiet brutality of Daisy and Tom, Jordan and the mess we made[00:27.209]Wolfsheim, the Wilsons; all of us, holding on to the foul dust of our dreams so tightly[00:33.491]We couldn't see straight[00:37.603]And as I turn to look at the shoreline, here is what I will never forget[00:44.569]I still can see Gatsby[00:47.197]Standing in silhouette[00:52.669]He's staring down the darkness[00:55.690]His arms stretch to the sky[01:01.136]With infinite hope that made him fool enough to try[01:09.929]That light across the water[01:13.718]Is always out of reach[01:18.479]So why do we[01:21.257]Why do we[01:24.083]Why do we keep reaching[01:37.881]Gatsby believed in the green light[01:41.405]The orgastic future that year by year recedes before us.[01:45.765]It eluded us then, but that's no matter. Tomorrow we will run faster / Where's the party and can you take me there[01:51.685]Stretch our arms farther. And one fine morning / When the party's over can you find another party somewhere[01:56.143]So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaseless into the past / We live for today, we pay off the cops[02:00.174]And today is never over if the party never stops[02:03.853]Where's the party and can you take me there[02:06.728]And when the party's over can you find another party somewhere[02:12.243]We live for today[02:14.117]We pay off the cops[02:15.770]And when you think the party stops—[02:18.573]The party's roaring on[02:22.490]The party's roaring on[02:26.631]Oh, we beat on and on and on and on[02:32.000]And on[02:33.958]And on, and on[02:39.039]And on
