The River In Reverse - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

How long does a promise last[00:00:23]

How long can a lie be told[00:00:26]

What would I take in exchange for my soul[00:00:30]

Would I notice when it was sold[00:00:34]

Wake me up[00:00:38]

Wake me up[00:00:40]

Wake me up with a slap or a kiss[00:00:41]

There must be something better than this[00:00:45]

'Cos I don't see how it can get much worse[00:00:49]

What do we have to do to send the river in reverse[00:00:54]

Every man[00:01:06]

A crawling king snake[00:01:07]

Every girl[00:01:09]

A half a heartbreak[00:01:11]

Every woman sold into shame[00:01:13]

To any son without a name[00:01:17]

Are your arms too weak to lift[00:01:21]

Another shovel on the graveyard shift[00:01:24]

Here comes the flood if you catch my drift[00:01:28]

Where the things that they promised are not a gift[00:01:32]

Man falls through the mirror of a lake[00:01:36]

They fish him out quick and they call him a fake[00:01:40]

Give him all the temptations he can take[00:01:43]

Tie him up high till his bones break[00:01:47]

Wake me up[00:01:52]

Wake me up[00:01:55]

Wake me up with a slap or a kiss[00:01:56]

There must be something better than this[00:01:59]

'Cos I don't see how it can get much worse[00:02:03]

What do we have to do to send the river in reverse[00:02:08]

I thought I heard somebody laugh[00:02:20]

Look out your window[00:02:25]

They're chasing shadows in the dark[00:02:28]

They're counting widows[00:02:32]

I felt a sliver of glass[00:02:35]

Saw a cross in splinters[00:02:39]

Felt the truce of spring[00:02:43]

Dig me out of the trench of winter[00:02:47]

So count your blessings when they ask permission[00:02:50]

To govern with money and superstition[00:02:54]

They tell you it's all for your own protection[00:02:58]

Till you fear your own reflection[00:03:01]

But the times are passing from illumination[00:03:05]

Like bodies falling from a constellation[00:03:09]

An uncivil war divides the nation[00:03:13]

So erase the tape[00:03:17]

On that final ape[00:03:21]

Running down creation[00:03:25]

Running down creation[00:03:29]

Wake me up[00:03:33]

Wake me up[00:03:36]

Wake me up with a slap or a kiss[00:03:36]

There must be something better than this[00:03:40]

Wake me up[00:03:48]

Wake me up with a slap or a kiss[00:03:52]

There must be something better than this[00:03:55]
