International Echo - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

The streets were deserted and the house was dark[00:00:17]

Down in the basement there was the faintest spark[00:00:21]

Three boys hoping to make their mark[00:00:25]

International echo[00:00:28]

They said it was nothing but a worthless toy[00:00:33]

Sign right here and you can be employed[00:00:37]

Woke up startled in the state of joy[00:00:41]

International echo[00:00:44]

The roof is shaking and the house is ablaze[00:00:49]

I've been wide-awake for days[00:00:53]

I thought I heard a signal breaking through[00:00:57]

At this distance that is hard to do[00:01:01]

Could be seven inches could be twelve[00:01:05]

Drop the needle on it and let it revolve[00:01:09]

I felt a pulse and a drum tattoo[00:01:13]

I was just thinking about you[00:01:17]

Send out a message and it's sure to rebound[00:01:21]

What's that I hear and what' s that sound [00:01:25]

Seems to be coming from under the ground[00:01:29]

International echo[00:01:33]

It can't be repeated it can't be resisted[00:01:37]

It went out straight it came back twisted[00:01:42]

If you didn't see it their then you probably missed it[00:01:45]

International echo[00:01:49]

Must be something in the atmosphere[00:01:54]

Let me be your volunteer[00:01:58]

I thought I heard a signal coming through[00:02:02]

In a language that I never knew[00:02:06]

Give me seven inches give me twelve[00:02:10]

Drop the needle on it and let it revolve[00:02:14]

I felt a pulse and a drum tattoo[00:02:18]

Even though it was taboo[00:02:22]

Solo[00:02:25]

Well they paid me money for playing pretend[00:02:42]

Then they said that it must be the end[00:02:46]

But I was just following the popular trend[00:02:50]

International echo[00:02:54]

The beer from the bottle wine from the grape[00:02:58]

I stood up straight got bent out of shape[00:03:02]

Now I'm just looking for some way to escape[00:03:06]

International echo[00:03:09]

But everything I said just seems automatic[00:03:14]

The radio plays nothing but static[00:03:18]

I think that I'm about to flip my lid[00:03:22]

My waitress said that she might be my kid[00:03:26]

And give me seven inches give me twelve[00:03:30]

Well drop the needle on it and let it revolve[00:03:34]

Did you hear me calling you [00:03:38]

'Cause hear I go[00:03:40]

International echo echo[00:03:42]

Solo[00:03:46]

The streets were deserted the house was dark[00:04:02]

Down in the basement there's the faintest spark[00:04:06]

Three boys hoping to make their mark[00:04:10]

International echo[00:04:13]
