Elvis Costello - My Dark Life songtekst

Je score:


She says, nobody wants to believe 

You're the same as 

everyone

What makes makes me 

unique

My Dark Life



There was a kink in the 

world

Sent that statue 

tumbling

An invitation east

So we can watch it all 

crumbling

she came on like a light

and so softly she spoke

you don't know

you don't know about

My dark life



And you think you're a 

guest

You're a tourist at best

Peering into the 

corners of

My dark life



Now that you, You tear 

your dreams

From consumptive 

ballerinas

She'll stand on tiptoe 

for you

In a grey and tattered 

tutu



She stay's where 

she is

cause of voyeurs like 

these

with an accusative look 

that says

My Dark Life



Rubber men await you 

there

In each beguiling alley

To shake you and to 

pierce you and remind you of 

My dark Life



Enter the pious elite

In their preening finery

And bang the tambourine

They're dining on rice 

paper scenery



See how the villain 

attracts

Envious glances from 

everyone

She's waitressing by day

It doesn't bring in 

much money now



And as strong concealed 

arms

Set off bells and alarms

In the strangest 

locations of

My Dark Life



But the fantasies 

slipped 

as he tipped her in 

cigarettes

She tries to smile very

graciously

When she wants to kill 

him



Now the victory is sweet

You get down upon your 

knees

It's the perfect 

position

for kissing west on 

leather



So they came from Ugly, 

Texas

and from Nameless, 

Tennesee

from Peculiar, Missouri

and from places closer 

to me



All the cream of 

heartless england

cheer the carnival is 

over

and remnants of Red Army 

bandsmen

played America the 

Beautiful
