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

She says nobody wants to believe[00:00:25]

You're the same as everyone[00:00:33]

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 off like light and so softly she spoke[00:01:13]

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

No you don't know about my dark life[00:01:26]

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

You're a tourist at best[00:01:37]

Peering into the corners of your dark life[00:01:43]

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

From consumptive ballerinas[00:01:57]

She'd stand on tiptoes for you[00:02:02]

In a grey and tattered tutu[00:02:06]

She stays where she is because of voyeurs like these[00:02:11]

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

My dark life[00:02:27]

Robber men await you then in each beguiling alley[00:02:33]

To shake you and to pierce you and remind you of[00:02:45]

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[00:03:23]

See how the villain attracts envious glances from everyone[00:03:28]

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

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

And his strong concealed arms set off bells and alarms[00:03:49]

In the strangest locations of[00:03:59]

My dark life[00:04:05]

But the fantasy slipped as he tipped her in cigarettes[00:04:09]

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'll get down on your knees[00:04:33]

It's the perfect position for kissing western leather[00:04:38]

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

And from Nameless Tennessee[00:04:55]

From Peculiar Missouri and from places closer to me[00:05:02]

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

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

There are remnants of red army bandsmen[00:05:26]

Played America The Beautiful[00:05:31]
