作词 : Costello | |
I spy through the "Spirit of Curiosity" | |
All the scandals of each vain monstrosity | |
I gossip and I pry and I insinuate | |
If the failure is great | |
Then it tends to fascinate | |
A tornado dropped a funnel cloud with twenty tons of rain | |
Though she had the attention span of warm cellophane | |
Her lovers fell like skittles in an 10-pin bowling lane | |
But nothing could compare with that explosion of fame | |
So you jump back with alarm | |
Every Elvis has his Army | |
Every rattlesnake its charm | |
Can you still hear me? | |
Am I coming through just fine? | |
Your memory was buried in simple box of pine | |
Did her green eyes seduce you and make you get so weak? | |
Was there fire engine red that she left upon your cheek? | |
It's such a shame you had to break the heart | |
You could have counted on but the last thing you need is another | |
...Episode of blonde | |
Revolving like a jeweller's figure on a music box | |
Spangled curtain parted and a night club scene unlocks | |
Pinned and fixed and fastened in a follow spot | |
Arms thrown out to everyone, she's giving all she's got | |
To the last gasp of a wounded bandeon | |
Tiny man imploring to the ceiling fan | |
This stolen feeling | |
Amplified up through the busted speaker | |
Blaring, blasting, advertising, distorted beyond reason | |
Into the street where petty crime coats shadow panic drunkards, | |
Half out of the taxi cab the barker seized my elbow | |
He thought I was another lonely, likely pilgrim looking for St. Telmo | |
Repeat chorus | |
I tried to keep a straight face but you know it never pays | |
He would stare into those eyes and then vacation in her gaze | |
She was a cute little ruin that he pulled out of the rubble | |
Now they're both living in a soft soap bubble | |
The film producer's contemplating, entertaining suicide | |
The picture crumpled in his fist, his runaway child bride | |
The timepiece stretched across his wrist | |
She couldn't care less cast aside | |
The scent that so repelled him that he swore: "insecticide" | |
And there's farewell note to mother | |
That will conclude "Your loving Son" | |
"Oh, tell your other children not to do as I have done" | |
Chorus | |
So an artist drags a toothbrush across the first thing that he sees | |
And names the painting "Christ's Last Exit into Purgatory" | |
Receiving secret messages from an alien intelligence | |
Paying off his stalker it's a legitimate expense | |
So paste up pictures of those shrill and hollow girls | |
With puckered lips | |
She's a trophy on your arm | |
A magnet for your money clip | |
The moral of this story is the sorry tale to say | |
They're pieced with links of chains so they can never run away |
