Beyond Belief - Elvis Costello[00:00:01]

History repeats the old conceits[00:00:07]

The glib replies the same defeats[00:00:09]

Keep your finger on important issues[00:00:12]

With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues[00:00:14]

Im just the oily slick[00:00:17]

On the windup world of the nervous tick[00:00:19]

In a very fashionable hovel[00:00:23]

I hang around dying to be tortured[00:00:28]

Youll never be alone in the bone orchard[00:00:30]

This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel[00:00:32]

So in this almost empty gin palace[00:00:39]

Through a two-way looking glass[00:00:43]

You see your alice[00:00:46]

You know she has no sense[00:00:50]

For all your jealousy[00:00:52]

In a sense she still smiles very sweetly[00:00:55]

Charged with insults and flattery[00:00:59]

Her body moves with malice[00:01:02]

Do you have to be so cruel to be callous[00:01:04]

And now you find you[00:01:10]

Fit this identikit completely[00:01:12]

You say you have no secrets[00:01:15]

And then leave discreetly[00:01:17]

I might make it californias fault[00:01:21]

Be locked in genevas deepest vault[00:01:22]

Just like the canals of mars[00:01:25]

And the great barrier reef[00:01:27]

I come to you beyond belief[00:01:28]

My hands were clammy and cunning[00:01:35]

Shes been suitably stunning[00:01:38]

But I know theres not a hope in hades[00:01:41]

All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle[00:01:46]

So-called gentlemen and ladies[00:01:51]

Dog fight like rose and thistle[00:01:54]

Ive got a feeling[00:01:56]

Im going to get a lot of grief[00:01:59]

Once this seemed so appealing[00:02:01]

Now I am beyond belief[00:02:04]
