Let the records play lyrics - Pearl Jam song

When the Kingdom comes he puts the records on
and with his blistered thumb hits play
and with the volume up he goes and fills his cup
and lets the drummer drum
take away the pain, the pain


breaking, forsaken, what?s that you?re takin'?
Bleeding the feeling, he lets the records play


Should the future dim
The cigarette light?s in
the vaporizer green light grim
and when the shot glass talks he goes to listens up
until he?s nice and numb again, again


shaken, the breaking, not one for faking
the reeling is healing
he lets the records play, there?s wisdom in his ways


I?ve been down and I fell so hard and far from grace
I?ve been hurt and I still recall the flaws on her face
I?ve been off but but I'm up on my feet, my feet again


Shaken, foresaken, what?s that you?re taking?
Oh! The weeding, the feeling, he lets the records play


shaken but breaking, not one for faking oh!
the reeling is healing, he lets the records play!


Oh, there?s wisdom in his ways
