Luyện nghe bài hát Ed

Ed was at the end of his rope, an he detested
"There is no rope", he would scream at the laughing
There is the end, no hope, no rope
Ending is better than
Doors of perception, windows of
These are illusions like the killing

Ed spoke in a squeaky voice
perhaps a slight tinge of glee
But this was only he couldn't be bothered
To try to develop a manner of
That truly his mood

This is a vaccum, there is no air in room
Despair is no fun
knocked three times on the ceiling
But the rosy fingers of dawn inserted themselves
In the nose of promises

sang, "Heysanna, Hosanna"
Paralyzed danced in the streets all day
But when the came, everybody went home
I was ready, everyone else was

And while it might been a relief to see
I was right all along
Here I am still, alone and
the endless end

And I can it all around
And laugh at it and laugh at
I can laugh than the walls, the halls, the waterfalls
Louder than De Gaul or Fulton Mall

But I don't what I'm laughing at
I don't know just what I think is so funny
I don't why I don't just shut up
And give up and lay and die

"What do I to complain about anyway?"
Ed his Picasso, "I'm a millionaire"
This wasn't actually
Ed's was an obvious forgery

His Rothkos had just been singled out
In an in 'Art forum' entitled
'The Three Insignificant Paintings of Mark Rothko'
And his Barbara Krugers had been damaged
By Rein and a few other bands from Gainesville
That refused to the value of art

"Come to of it", Ed mused
To the laminated roadkill coffee table he had purchased
times had seemed slightly less bleak
"Come to think of it, not only does art have no value
But my collection has no value either"

"I know I'm not a
But that's no reason to
is no reason to complain
There is no to do anything"

"I don't believe in reason, objective or collective farming
I believe in public speaking
is another reason why I'm here alone
I believe in life or death
I would kill but I don't believe in suicide"

Ed put on a red shirt and took a walk around the block
While whistling softly to
He reentered his apartment
"There is no on this planet"

"Jehovah One replaced all life with machinery centuries ago
The Industrial Revolution
Was just another hoax and we all for it
'Cause we were all programmed to, I fell for it
I believe in the engine
though I don't believe in anything"

Logical inconsistency is the Mr. Bubble I in
Each and evening, except for yesterday evening
When I roller bladed to the Masonic Temple
To play with Pope John Paul the First
I had no choice in the matter"

Ed could go on and on
And he did, and he would and he
Until you or I or somebody something about it
Senator of Louisiana
Announced over closed television
And as long as he continues to pontificate
I do nothing

Ed walked away from the feeling fortified and stapled
His brain was buzzing, the way it always did after 'Jeopardy'
He loaded up the micro bus with and poseidons
And for Pope County

"I've had it", he sang, "I've had it with puns,
Russian literature, Italian
Meaningless cross references and laundry lists of
I drive without a license, without clothing, without direction"

"And if I it to Arkansas, fine
And if I'm running late, if I'm running a numbers
It doesn't matter, I shall on running"

"Yes, this is the answer, is the ending, I shall keep on running
Because a in motion tends to stay emotional
And it's better to feel, pain is better than
Emptiness is better than nothing, and is better than this"
