Poor Fractured Atlas - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:03]

He's out in the woods with his squirrel gun[00:00:11]

To try to recapture his anger[00:00:16]

He's screaming some words at the top of his lungs[00:00:21]

Until he begins to feel younger[00:00:26]

But back at his desk in the city we find[00:00:32]

Our trembling punch drunken fighter[00:00:37]

Who can't find the strength now to punish the length[00:00:42]

Of the ribbon in his little type writer[00:00:48]

Poor fractured atlas[00:00:55]

Threw himself across the mattress[00:01:00]

Waving his withering pencil[00:01:06]

As if it were a pirate's cutlass[00:01:11]

I'm almost certain he's trying to increase his burden[00:01:17]

He said that's how the child in me planned it[00:01:27]

A woman wouldn't understand it[00:01:33]

I believe there was something that I wanted to say[00:01:48]

Before I conclude this epistle[00:01:53]

But you would forgive me for holding my tongue[00:01:58]

'Cause man made the blade and the pistol[00:02:04]

Yes man made the waterfall over the dam[00:02:09]

To temper his tantrum with magic[00:02:14]

Now you can't be sure of that tent of azure[00:02:20]

Since he punched a hole in the fabric[00:02:24]

Poor fractured atlas[00:02:32]

Threw himself across the mattress[00:02:37]

Waving his withering pencil[00:02:43]

As if it were a pirate's cutlass[00:02:48]

I'm almost certain[00:02:54]

He's trying to increase his burden[00:02:59]

He said that's how the child in me planned it[00:03:04]

A woman wouldn't understand it[00:03:10]

A woman wouldn't understand it[00:03:21]

A woman wouldn't understand it[00:03:31]
