Dr. Watson, I Presume - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:01]

I sat in a motel room with the doctor[00:00:10]

Just before we were supposed to sing[00:00:14]

He said regarding this guardian wing[00:00:18]

This black and clipped misshapen thing[00:00:23]

Hobbling on from claw to ring[00:00:27]

Hung upside down and cawing[00:00:32]

Pecking at carrion of the fallen[00:00:37]

Battalion[00:00:41]

Thawing[00:00:42]

On frozen mooring[00:00:44]

Blackbird in a crust no more[00:00:50]

They fell down four and twenty[00:00:54]

Bloodstained on the land of want and plenty[00:00:59]

Now raven's standing at his shoulder[00:01:03]

Stared with eyes of molten solder[00:01:08]

Dripping on a lacquer box[00:01:12]

Introducing the keys to locks[00:01:16]

Seven talents there where hidden[00:01:21]

Mysterious and some forbidden[00:01:26]

Take the honey from the comb[00:01:30]

Ravel thread around the loom[00:01:35]

Dig the dirt up from the tomb[00:01:39]

Dr.Watson I presume[00:01:44]

One will follow[00:01:59]

Two unknown sorrow[00:02:00]

Three for laughter[00:02:04]

Four ever after[00:02:05]

Five foot flood the waters hit[00:02:08]

Six feet deep the eternal pit[00:02:13]

Seven prayers and seven pleas[00:02:17]

To eight imagined deities[00:02:22]

Cat o'nine tails[00:02:26]

Cat of nine lives[00:02:28]

Brides turned into old wives tales[00:02:31]

Your complexion colors then it pales[00:02:35]

And into the sunset it sails[00:02:40]

Soon these secrets will be scattered[00:02:45]

Heaven knows what lies inside[00:02:49]

It took a moment to discover[00:02:54]

A lifetime to decide[00:02:59]

Take the honey from the comb[00:03:03]

Ravel thread around the loom[00:03:08]

Dig the dirt up from the tomb[00:03:12]

Dr.Watson I presume[00:03:17]
