Bullets For The New-Born King - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:01]

No one looks in this place for motive or any hope[00:00:04]

But for the dead shot of an amber glass[00:00:09]

The blue light of a votive[00:00:13]

Rain obscured the window[00:00:18]

As the pain was dulled by the grains[00:00:20]

Absolved by spoons in flames[00:00:26]

In fear in time dissolving[00:00:30]

It's not for the faint of pulse[00:00:34]

Or anybody false[00:00:39]

Those amateurs who simply shed their skins[00:00:42]

So where are those traitors now we once called patriots[00:00:53]

Just like those saints who seem to revel in their sins[00:01:01]

O my eyes were filled with tears that were stinging[00:01:11]

After our assassin's work was done[00:01:17]

But bells in hands are only there for the wringing[00:01:23]

And we were bringing bullets for the new born king[00:01:29]

Trumpet sounds lamenting[00:01:40]

Trampling down the blooms of the deceased[00:01:42]

The double agent girl and the fallen priest were heading for the border[00:01:48]

Somewhere in the high command there stayed the palest hand[00:01:56]

Who saw the order countermand[00:02:04]

Erased the tape recorder and then they hung him from a window cord[00:02:07]

Swallow down that voodoo vial and stay your breath a while[00:02:17]

Before we spill this tale that we had spun[00:02:25]

And now I shall now confide all that I have denied[00:02:36]

Oh I'm so sorry for the things I've done[00:02:44]

O my eyes were filled with tears that were stinging[00:02:53]

After our assassin's work was done[00:03:00]

But bells in hands bells were only there for the ringing[00:03:05]

And we were bringing bullets for the new born king[00:03:11]
