[ti:The Tailor (Album)] [ar:Blitzen Trapper] [al:Destroyer Of The Void] [by:] [offset:0] [00:00.00]The Tailor (Album) - Blitzen Trapper [00:04.01]I'm a long way from my home [00:05.63] [00:07.38]I was born on the raging sea [00:08.94] [00:10.62]And when I first struck land [00:11.93]With my head in hand [00:14.18]I built a house out of an old oak tree [00:16.45] [00:17.56]And raised a family out of earth and electricity [00:20.37] [00:24.20]I was king of my domain [00:25.95] [00:27.94]But my fortitude had proved in vain [00:30.00] [00:31.00]And when the locusts came [00:32.99]Like a summer rain [00:34.00] [00:34.61]Devouring everything that I held dear [00:37.11] [00:38.17]And all I'd worked for simply disappeared [00:40.81] [00:41.56]So I crept away [00:43.43]For I had debts to pay [00:45.36]And joined the army as a privateer [00:47.43] [00:48.74]Yeah it was then the wind it whispered [00:50.92]But I would not hear [00:52.10] [01:19.89]So we sailed out across the land [01:21.64] [01:23.25]Through an ocean made of sinking sand [01:25.08] [01:26.51]And though I lost my men [01:28.57]I was born again [01:30.13]As a tailor in an unknown land [01:32.07] [01:33.56]With a needle and some thread in hand [01:35.53] [01:37.09]Mending suits and slacks [01:38.52] [01:39.15]Stitching up the cracks [01:40.21] [01:40.96]In the backs of my neighbors heads [01:42.58] [01:43.72]And soon the word yeah of my work it spread through the town [01:47.22] [02:08.36]So before the king I stood [02:10.04] [02:11.60]I said I come from the raging sea [02:13.41] [02:14.97]And if the truth be told [02:16.97]I am not so old [02:18.59]As you may first have taken me to be [02:20.72] [02:22.03]For numbers never could apply to me [02:24.02] [02:25.45]For I'm as old as time [02:27.27]And maybe half as blind [02:28.45]What some of you might call infinity [02:30.76] [02:32.51]I am the tailor of the earth and electricity [02:34.79]-->
