After the Fall - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:01]

In an anonymous rendezvous[00:00:06]

Where the forbidden lovers repair[00:00:11]

They're burning down another damn candle[00:00:17]

They're melting the tables and chairs[00:00:23]

Beneath them applause from the balcony[00:00:28]

Whenever they accomplished making love[00:00:34]

Other times they thought they heard laughter[00:00:40]

Coming from the balcony above[00:00:47]

She lies to his right and she carelessly recites[00:00:55]

All of her brand new appetites[00:01:02]

She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all[00:01:07]

Since she came back to him after the fall[00:01:13]

She said you never visit the countryside[00:01:22]

So I've made you a country to order[00:01:28]

She put up a little tent in the bedroom[00:01:34]

Crickets played on a tape recorder[00:01:40]

The ceiling was festooned with Phosphorous stars[00:01:46]

She noticed his skin turning cold[00:01:52]

Burning all his clothes on the bonfire[00:01:59]

Relax she whispered and tightened the blindfold[00:02:04]

She lies to his right and she carelessly recites[00:02:13]

All of her brand new appetites[00:02:19]

She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all[00:02:24]

Since she came back to him after the fall[00:02:31]

You've changed but not for the better babe[00:02:40]

I'd tell you why but what's the use[00:02:47]

'Cos it's the same kind of pity[00:02:53]

A drunkard gives as his excuse[00:02:59]

You were sharp and ideal as a Bobby Pin[00:03:04]

Now your eyes are deserted and quiet[00:03:10]

We both look like those poor shattered mannequins[00:03:17]

Thrown through the window in the riot[00:03:23]

She lies in his arms and without any qualms[00:03:32]

Revels in shallow delights[00:03:39]

She seems brittle and small it don't sound like her at all[00:03:44]

Since she came back to him after the fall[00:03:51]
