[00:00:00] Bullets For The New-Born King - Elvis Costello

[00:00:01] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:04] No one looks in this place for motive or any hope

[00:00:09] But for the dead shot of an amber glass

[00:00:13] The blue light of a votive

[00:00:18] Rain obscured the window

[00:00:20] As the pain was dulled by the grains

[00:00:26] Absolved by spoons in flames

[00:00:30] In fear in time dissolving

[00:00:34] It's not for the faint of pulse

[00:00:39] Or anybody false

[00:00:42] Those amateurs who simply shed their skins

[00:00:53] So where are those traitors now we once called patriots

[00:01:01] Just like those saints who seem to revel in their sins

[00:01:11] O my eyes were filled with tears that were stinging

[00:01:17] After our assassin's work was done

[00:01:23] But bells in hands are only there for the wringing

[00:01:29] And we were bringing bullets for the new born king

[00:01:40] Trumpet sounds lamenting

[00:01:42] Trampling down the blooms of the deceased

[00:01:48] The double agent girl and the fallen priest were heading for the border

[00:01:56] Somewhere in the high command there stayed the palest hand

[00:02:04] Who saw the order countermand

[00:02:07] Erased the tape recorder and then they hung him from a window cord

[00:02:17] Swallow down that voodoo vial and stay your breath a while

[00:02:25] Before we spill this tale that we had spun

[00:02:36] And now I shall now confide all that I have denied

[00:02:44] Oh I'm so sorry for the things I've done

[00:02:53] O my eyes were filled with tears that were stinging

[00:03:00] After our assassin's work was done

[00:03:05] But bells in hands bells were only there for the ringing

[00:03:11] And we were bringing bullets for the new born king
