- Elvis Costello Turpentine 歌詞
- Elvis Costello
- I cant tell if this is real or if
I am sleeping
Ill embroider the truth and thats so
I shall reap
I took things that didnt belong to me
I didnt mean to do you wrong
Looking back on all that stolen time
Back when
I was drinking turpentine
Dont blame me,
I only took you in
It takes time to do the poisoning
So lets close the door on this and lock it
And thats all it will ever be
Just an accident of chemistry
You did everything to me but stopped short of murder
Couldnt move me much closer to keeping my word
While the crowds threw stones at the hangman
The sky fell down, the bells rang
Looking back on all that stolen time
Back when
I was drinking turpentine
Dont blame me,
I only took you in
It takes time to do the poisoning
So lets close the door on this and lock it
And thats all that it will ever be
Just an accident of chemistry
Airless shaft of an underground railway
Effete assassin with a hawk in a sack
The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail
As it swallows the river running under the track
Under the track, yeah
I cant tell if
Im dreaming or if
Ill awaken
With a song in my heart that is longing to break
Let it out and let it fly high
Up where the spires scrape the sky
Looking back on all that stolen time
Back when
I was drinking turpentine
Dont blame me,
I only took you in
It takes time to do the poisoning
So lets close the door on this and lock it
And thats all that it will ever be
Just an accident of history, yeah
Airless shaft of an underground railway
Cute assassin with a hawk in a sack
The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail
Swallowed the river running under the track
Thats right
