Deep Dark Truthful Mirror - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

One day you're going to have to face[00:00:03]

A deep dark truthful mirror[00:00:07]

And it's going to tell you things that[00:00:11]

I still love you too much to say[00:00:14]

The sky was just a purple bruise[00:00:20]

The ground was iron[00:00:25]

And you fell all around the town until[00:00:29]

You looked the same[00:00:33]

The same eyes the same[00:00:37]

Lips the same lie from[00:00:40]

Your tongue trips[00:00:43]

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror[00:00:46]

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror[00:00:53]

Now the flagstone streets where[00:01:00]

The newspaper shouts ring to the boots of roustabouts[00:01:03]

But you're never in any doubt[00:01:10]

There's something happening somewhere[00:01:13]

You chase down the road til your fingers bleed[00:01:18]

On a fiberglass tumbleweed[00:01:23]

You can blow around the town[00:01:27]

But it all shuts down the same[00:01:31]

The same eyes the same lips[00:01:36]

The same lie from[00:01:40]

Your tongue trips[00:01:42]

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror[00:01:44]

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror[00:01:51]

So you bay for the boy in the tiger-skin trunks[00:01:57]

They set him up[00:02:02]

Set him up on the stool[00:02:04]

He falls down[00:02:06]

Falls down like a drunk[00:02:07]

And you drink til you drool[00:02:11]

And it's his story you'll flatter[00:02:15]

You'll stretch him out like a saint[00:02:19]

But the canvas that he splattered will be the[00:02:24]

Picture that you never paint[00:02:28]

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror[00:02:36]

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror[00:02:43]

A stripping puppet on a liquid[00:02:51]

Stick gets into it pretty thick[00:02:53]

A butterfly drinks a turtles tears[00:03:00]

But how do you know he really needs it[00:03:04]

Cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkeys hand[00:03:08]

Jesus wept he felt abandoned[00:03:13]

You're spellbound baby there's no doubting that[00:03:17]

Did you ever see a stare like a persian cat[00:03:21]

The same eyes the same lips the same lie[00:03:26]

Your tongue trips[00:03:32]

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror[00:03:35]

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror[00:03:41]

Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror[00:03:48]
