WAKE Me Up (叫醒我) - Elvis Costello & The Roots[00:00:00]

I've got this phosphorescent portrait[00:00:12]

Of gentle Jesus meek and mild[00:00:14]

I've got this harlot[00:00:17]

That I'm stuck[00:00:19]

With carrying another man's child[00:00:20]

The solitary star announcing vacancy burnt out[00:00:23]

As we arrived[00:00:26]

They'd throw us back across the border[00:00:28]

If they knew that we survived[00:00:31]

And they were surprised to see us[00:00:33]

So they greeted us with palms[00:00:40]

They asked for ammunition [00:00:46]

Acts of contrition and small alms[00:00:50]

Wake me up wake me up [00:00:57]

Wake me up wake me up[00:00:58]

Wake me up[00:01:00]

With a slap or a kiss[00:01:02]

Wake me up wake me up [00:01:08]

Wake me up wake me up [00:01:09]

Wake me up[00:01:11]

There must be something better than this[00:01:13]

I've got this imaginary radio [00:01:19]

And I'm punching up the dial[00:01:22]

I've got the A C trained on the T V [00:01:25]

So it won't blow up in my eye[00:01:27]

And everything[00:01:31]

That I thought fanciful or mocked[00:01:32]

As too extreme[00:01:34]

Must be family entertainment here[00:01:36]

In the strange land of my dreams[00:01:39]

And I'm practicing[00:01:42]

My likeness of St [00:01:43]

Francis of Assisi[00:01:48]

And if I hold my hand outstretched[00:01:53]

A little bird comes to me[00:01:59]

And I might recite a small prayer[00:02:04]

If I ever said them[00:02:08]

I lay down on an iron frame[00:02:10]

And found myself in Bedlam[00:02:14]

Stepping on the fingers[00:02:16]

That were stretching through the bars[00:02:19]

Wailing echoes down the corridors[00:02:22]

Wake me up wake me up [00:02:28]

Wake me up wake me up [00:02:29]

Wake me up[00:02:30]

With a slap or a kiss[00:02:33]

Wake me up wake me up [00:02:38]

Wake me up wake me up [00:02:40]

Wake me up[00:02:41]

There must be something better than this[00:02:43]

They've got this scared[00:03:01]

And decorated girl strapped to the steel[00:03:03]

Trunk of a Mustang[00:03:04]

They drove her down a cypress grove[00:03:07]

Where traitors hang and stars still spangle[00:03:09]

They dangled flags[00:03:12]

And other rags along a colored thread of twine[00:03:13]

They dragged that bruised and purple heart[00:03:18]

Along the road to Palestine[00:03:21]

Someone went off muttering [00:03:24]

He mentioned thirty pieces[00:03:29]

Easter saw a slaughtering [00:03:35]

Each wrapped in bloodstained fleeces[00:03:40]

My thoughts returned to vengeance[00:03:46]

But I put up no resistance[00:03:52]

Though I seemed a long way from my home[00:03:57]

It really was no distance[00:04:03]

Wake me up wake me up [00:04:09]

Wake me up wake me up [00:04:11]

Wake me up[00:04:12]

With a slap or a kiss[00:04:14]

Wake me up wake me up [00:04:20]

Wake me up wake me up [00:04:21]

Wake me up[00:04:22]

There must be something better than this[00:04:25]

And the player piano[00:04:43]

Picks out "Life Goes On"[00:04:44]

The Ringtone rang out "Jerusalem"[00:04:48]

Into the pit of sadness[00:04:54]

Where the wretched plunge[00:04:57]

We've buried all the Innocents[00:04:59]

We must bury revenge[00:05:02]

We must bury revenge[00:05:05]

We must bury revenge[00:05:08]

Wake me up wake me up [00:05:11]

Wake me up wake me up [00:05:13]

Wake me up[00:05:14]

There must be something[00:05:16]

Better than this[00:05:19]

There must be something[00:05:21]

Better than this[00:05:24]

There must be something[00:05:27]

Better than this[00:05:30]

There must be something[00:05:33]

Better than this[00:05:36]
