〔你問我聽Tom Waits的什麼。嗯,當然是Black Rider了。I'll shoot the moon...〕

I'll shoot the moon/right out of the sky/for you baby...甜言蜜語之經典,來自又甜又苦的 The Black Rider: The Casting of the Magic Bullets. 變種浮士德,出賣靈魂的故事。六十顆百發百中的神奇子彈,只有三顆屬於魔鬼的,你會要嗎?當然,作為故事,一顆屬於魔鬼的已經夠了,並且最終必落於心愛的人額頭之上。但I'll Shoot the Moon百聽不厭,在於讓你發現︰1. 跟魔鬼交易後的喜悅,沒有幾個凡人能抵抗。2. 愛一個人,有時就會以為自己無所不能。

I'll Shoot the Moon

I'll shoot the moon
Right out of the sky
For you baby

I'll be the pennies
On your eyes
For you baby

I want to take you
Out to the fair
Here's a red rose
Ribbon for your hair

I'll shoot the moon
Right our of the sky
For you baby
I'll shoot the moon
For you

A vulture circles
Over your head
For you baby
I'll be the flowers
After your dead
For you baby

I want to build
A nest in your hair
I want to kiss you
And never be there

I'll shoot the moon
Right out of the sky
For you baby
I'll shoot the moon
For you

奇情在於,Tom Waits 的聲音相當無賴,令深情變得難解。中段還有語氣極迷幻的對白︰so why don't you call me?...you know my number...392-7704, call anytime...oh...不過,想想這無賴還是對的,把電話重複一遍,以防她剛剛丟了iPhone,無晒contact list呀!
