Elvis Costello - After The Fall слова песни
In an anonymous rendezvousWhere the forbidden lovers repairTheyre burning down another damn candleTheyre melting the tables and chairsBeneath them applause from the balconyWhenever they accomplished making loveOther times they thought they heard laughterComing from the balcony aboveChorusShe lies to his right and she carelessly recitesAll of her brand new appetitesShe seems brittle and small, it dont sound like her at allSince she came back to him after the fallShe said "you never visit the countryside""so Ive made you a country to order"She put up a little tent in the bedroomCrickets played on a tape-recorderThe ceiling was festooned with phosphorous starsShe noticed his skin turning coldBurning all his clothes on the bonfire"relax" she whispered and tightened the blindfoldChorusYouve changed but not for the better babeId tell you why but whats the usecos its the same kind of pityA drunkard gives as his excuseYou were sharp and ideal as a bobby pinNow your eyes are deserted and quietWe both look like those poor shattered mannequinsThrown through the window in the riotShe lies in his arms and without any qualmsRevels in shallow delightsShe seems brittle and small, it dont sound like her at allSince she came back to him after the fall
