[00:00.00]The Boxer - Mystique
[00:05.43]He is just a poor boy
[00:07.34]Though his story's seldom told
[00:09.71]He has squandered his resistance
[00:12.46]For a pocketful of mumbles
[00:14.74]Such are promises
[00:17.91]All lies and jest
[00:19.52]Still a man hears what he wants to hear
[00:22.47]And disregards the rest
[00:24.29]Mmm
[00:28.79]Mmm
[00:34.38]When he left his home
[00:35.69]And his family
[00:36.93]He was no more than a boy
[00:39.10]In the company of strangers
[00:41.77]In the quiet of the railway station
[00:44.50]Running scared
[00:47.68]Laying low
[00:48.79]Seeking out the poorer quarters
[00:51.75]Where the ragged people go
[00:53.79]Looking for the places
[00:55.58]Only they would know
[01:01.05]Lie-la-lie
[01:03.56]Lie-la-lie
[01:06.06]Lie-la-lie
[01:15.81]Asking only workman's wages
[01:18.34]He came looking for a job
[01:20.36]But he got no offers
[01:23.46]Just a come-on from the whores
[01:25.56]On Seventh Avenue
[01:29.02]I do declare
[01:30.47]There were times
[01:31.44]When he was so lonesome
[01:33.40]He took some comfort there
[01:35.40]Lie-la-lie
[01:39.74]Lie-la-lie
[02:13.58]Lie-la-lie
[02:28.32]Then he's laying out
[02:29.87]His winter clothes
[02:30.81]And wishing he was gone
[02:32.92]Going home
[02:35.76]Where the New York City winters
[02:37.78]Aren't bleeding him
[02:41.45]Leading him
[02:45.09]Going home
[02:53.97]In the clearing stands a boxer
[02:55.95]And a fighter by his trade
[02:58.66]And he carries the reminders
[03:01.46]Of every glove that laid him down
[03:03.95]Or cut him till he cried out
[03:06.24]In his anger and his shame
[03:08.39]"I am leaving I am leaving "
[03:12.17]But the fighter still remains
[03:22.05]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:26.84]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:34.05]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:36.97]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:40.59]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:43.92]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:46.52]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:50.41]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:53.72]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[03:56.45]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
[04:00.61]Lie-la-lie Lie-la-lie
