《Heathen Town》歌词

[00:00:00] Heathen Town - Elvis Costello

[00:00:01] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:07] We used to call it sin city now

[00:00:10] It's gone way past that

[00:00:16] Painting the town

[00:00:17] And then

[00:00:18] Burning it down

[00:00:19] And even that's old hat

[00:00:23] Now there's a choir of angles

[00:00:26] And the fall of rome

[00:00:28] Singing ave Maria

[00:00:32] Or home sweet home

[00:00:35] It's just a heathen town

[00:00:38] I hear only evil

[00:00:40] As my tongue is tightened

[00:00:44] I used to be god fearing

[00:00:48] Now I'm so frightened

[00:00:52] 'Cause the devil will drag you under

[00:00:56] By the sharp tailfin

[00:00:58] Of your checkered cab

[00:01:00] Now I can't sit down

[00:01:02] I'm going over board

[00:01:04] In this heathen town

[00:01:09] Starts as an a flirtation

[00:01:10] And ends up as an expensive habit

[00:01:17] With one eye on her place in debtor's

[00:01:19] Prison and the other on a girl

[00:01:22] Dressed as a rabbit

[00:01:24] Now you can live forever

[00:01:27] In your fits and starts

[00:01:29] The only stake you cannot raise

[00:01:33] Is the one driven through your heart

[00:01:36] It's just a heathen town

[00:01:39] I hear only evil

[00:01:42] As my tongue is tightened

[00:01:45] I used to be God fearing

[00:01:49] Now I'm so frightened

[00:01:53] 'Cause the devil

[00:01:55] Drag you under

[00:01:57] By the sharp tailfin

[00:01:59] Of your checkered cab

[00:02:01] Now I can't sit down

[00:02:03] I'm going over board

[00:02:05] In this heathen town

[00:02:09] An a flirtation

[00:02:11] I'm going over board

[00:02:13] In this heathen town

[00:02:16] Ave

[00:02:26] In this heathen town

[00:02:30] In this heathen town

[00:02:38] In this heathen town

[00:02:45] In this heathen town

[00:02:52] Ah ha ha ha ha

[00:02:53] Ah ha ha ha ha

[00:02:55] Ah ha ha ha ha

[00:02:56] Ah ha ha ha ha

[00:02:57] Ah ha ha ha ha

[00:02:58] Ah ha ha ha ha

[00:02:59] Ah ha ha ha ha

[00:03:00] Ah ha ha ha ha

[00:03:01] Ah ha ha ha ha

[00:03:03] Ah ha ha ha ha
