《The River In Reverse》歌词

[00:00:01] The River In Reverse - Elvis Costello
[00:00:24] How long does a promise last
[00:00:27] How long can a lie be told
[00:00:31] What would I take in exchange for my soul
[00:00:35] Would I notice when it was sold
[00:00:38] Wake me up wake me up
[00:00:42] Wake me up with a slap or a kiss
[00:00:46] There must be something better than this
[00:00:50] 'Cos I don't see how it can get much worse
[00:00:54] What do we have to do to send the river in reverse
[00:01:06] Every man a crawling king snake
[00:01:10] Every girl a half a heartbreak
[00:01:14] Every woman sold into shame
[00:01:18] To any son without a name
[00:01:21] Are your arms too weak to lift
[00:01:25] Another shovel on the graveyard shift
[00:01:29] Here comes the flood if you catch my drift
[00:01:32] Where the things that they promised are not a gift
[00:01:37] If man falls through the mirror of a lake
[00:01:40] They fish him out quick and they call him a fake
[00:01:44] Give him all the temptations he can take
[00:01:48] Tie him up high till his bones break
[00:01:52] Wake me up wake me up
[00:01:56] Wake me up with a slap or a kiss
[00:02:00] There must be something better than this
[00:02:04] 'Cos I don't see how it can get much worse
[00:02:08] What do we have to do to send the river in reverse
[00:02:21] I thought I heard somebody laugh
[00:02:25] Look out your window
[00:02:28] They're chasing shadows in the dark
[00:02:32] They're counting widows
[00:02:36] I felt a sliver of glass
[00:02:40] Saw a cross in splinters
[00:02:44] I felt the truce of spring
[00:02:48] Dig me out of the trench of winter
[00:02:51] So count your blessings when they ask permission
[00:02:55] To govern with money and superstition
[00:02:58] They tell you it's all for your own protection
[00:03:02] Till you fear your own reflection
[00:03:06] But the times are passing from illumination
[00:03:09] Like bodies falling from a constellation
[00:03:13] An uncivil war divides the nation
[00:03:18] So erase the tape on that final ape running down creation
[00:03:30] Running down creation
[00:03:33] Wake me up wake me up
[00:03:37] Wake me up with a slap or a kiss
[00:03:41] There must be something better than this
[00:03:48] Wake me up wake me up with a slap or a kiss
[00:03:56] There must be something better than this
