My Dark Life - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

She says nobody wants to believe[00:00:26]

You're the same as everyone[00:00:34]

What makes me unique[00:00:38]

My dark life[00:00:45]

There was a kink in the world[00:00:53]

Sent that statue tumbling[00:00:57]

An invitation east[00:01:02]

So we can watch it all crumbling[00:01:09]

She came on like a light[00:01:13]

And so softly she spoke[00:01:18]

You don't know you don't know about[00:01:24]

My dark life[00:01:29]

And you think you're a guest[00:01:33]

You're a tourist at best[00:01:38]

Peering into the corners of[00:01:43]

My dark life[00:01:47]

Now that you tear your dreams[00:01:52]

From consumptive ballerinas[00:01:57]

She'll stand on tiptoe for you[00:02:02]

In a gray and tattered tutu[00:02:07]

She stay's where she is[00:02:11]

'Cause of voyeurs like these[00:02:16]

With an accusative look that says[00:02:21]

My dark life[00:02:27]

Rubber men await you there[00:02:33]

In each beguiling alley to shake you[00:02:37]

And to pierce you and remind you of[00:02:46]

My dark life[00:02:55]

Enter the pious elite[00:03:07]

In their preening finery[00:03:12]

And bang the tambourine[00:03:16]

They're dining on rice paper scenery[00:03:24]

See how the villain attracts[00:03:28]

Envious glances from everyone[00:03:33]

She's waitressing by day[00:03:38]

It doesn't bring in much money now[00:03:45]

And as strong concealed arms[00:03:49]

Set off bells and alarms[00:03:54]

In the strangest locations of[00:04:00]

My dark life[00:04:05]

But the fantasies slipped[00:04:09]

As he tipped her in cigarettes[00:04:13]

She tries to smile very graciously[00:04:19]

When she wants to kill him[00:04:24]

Now the victory is sweet[00:04:28]

You get down upon your knees[00:04:33]

It's the perfect position[00:04:38]

For kissing west on leather[00:04:42]

So they came from ugly Texas[00:04:50]

And from nameless Tennessee[00:04:55]

From peculiar Missouri[00:05:02]

And from places closer to me[00:05:07]

All the cream of heartless England[00:05:14]

Cheer the carnival is over[00:05:19]

And remnants of red army bandsmen[00:05:26]

Played America the beautiful[00:05:30]
