《My Dark Life》歌词

[00:00:00] My Dark Life - Elvis Costello

[00:00:26] She says nobody wants to believe

[00:00:34] You're the same as everyone

[00:00:38] What makes me unique

[00:00:45] My dark life

[00:00:53] There was a kink in the world

[00:00:57] Sent that statue tumbling

[00:01:02] An invitation east

[00:01:09] So we can watch it all crumbling

[00:01:13] She came on like a light

[00:01:18] And so softly she spoke

[00:01:24] You don't know you don't know about

[00:01:29] My dark life

[00:01:33] And you think you're a guest

[00:01:38] You're a tourist at best

[00:01:43] Peering into the corners of

[00:01:47] My dark life

[00:01:52] Now that you tear your dreams

[00:01:57] From consumptive ballerinas

[00:02:02] She'll stand on tiptoe for you

[00:02:07] In a gray and tattered tutu

[00:02:11] She stay's where she is

[00:02:16] 'Cause of voyeurs like these

[00:02:21] With an accusative look that says

[00:02:27] My dark life

[00:02:33] Rubber men await you there

[00:02:37] In each beguiling alley to shake you

[00:02:46] And to pierce you and remind you of

[00:02:55] My dark life

[00:03:07] Enter the pious elite

[00:03:12] In their preening finery

[00:03:16] And bang the tambourine

[00:03:24] They're dining on rice paper scenery

[00:03:28] See how the villain attracts

[00:03:33] Envious glances from everyone

[00:03:38] She's waitressing by day

[00:03:45] It doesn't bring in much money now

[00:03:49] And as strong concealed arms

[00:03:54] Set off bells and alarms

[00:04:00] In the strangest locations of

[00:04:05] My dark life

[00:04:09] But the fantasies slipped

[00:04:13] As he tipped her in cigarettes

[00:04:19] She tries to smile very graciously

[00:04:24] When she wants to kill him

[00:04:28] Now the victory is sweet

[00:04:33] You get down upon your knees

[00:04:38] It's the perfect position

[00:04:42] For kissing west on leather

[00:04:50] So they came from ugly Texas

[00:04:55] And from nameless Tennessee

[00:05:02] From peculiar Missouri

[00:05:07] And from places closer to me

[00:05:14] All the cream of heartless England

[00:05:19] Cheer the carnival is over

[00:05:26] And remnants of red army bandsmen

[00:05:30] Played America the beautiful
