Church Underground
作詞:Elvis Costello
She stood spot lit in a plain print dress Came howling out of the wilderness There beat a cunning and murderous heart Beneath that calm exterior
You know my name, you don't know my mind Don't doubt my eyes, they betray the past And I've already forgotten Much more than you will ever know
Every word that I have spoken is true Except the ones that have been broken in two Trying to make peace after the long night of pretend Need a pawnbroker or a moneylender
Why do you do me down, Mister? Sing 'Hallelujah', sister Turn up the volume just to turn it down The trivial secrets buried with the profound It's enough to put a church underground It's enough to put a church underground
Deflowered young and then ever since She's tried to wash off his fingerprints So every charlatan and prince Was made to feel inferior
She worked for tips in a 10-cent dance Said moving pictures might pay perchance 10,000 one-way tickets to the sparkling coast From the blank interior
Everybody's either talking in code 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 Or getting ready to explode And she was singing in a five-piece band Seems that no one really wants this sound
Why do you do me down, Mister? Sing 'Hallelujah', sister Turn up the volume just to turn it down The trivial secrets buried with the profound It's enough to put a church underground It's enough to put a church underground
The shaft of fanlight streaked with rain Poured through the glass, punched through the pain A holy picture hidden in the midden of that poisoned stitch Her lonely voice was just a ruin in these riches
She must have been dreaming this all along Could she be redeeming herself in song? I'm no one's martyred, plaster saint Below the grease, beneath the paint
I'm rolling like barrel, swinging like a gallows I'm rising up fast like all hell and all hallows
Why do you do me down, Mister? Sing 'Hallelujah,' sister I'll be damned or purgatory bound Before those jokers ever understand
It's enough to put a church underground It's enough to put a church underground It's enough to put a church underground
