Stations Of The Cross - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

The tempest blows up from a squall[00:00:24]

Past the cape of bad conscience[00:00:28]

Into the gulf of the cauldron[00:00:30]

Roars over the coastline to batter and flatten[00:00:33]

Exposing the roots like the dyed hair of slattern[00:00:39]

Scrapper and mauler in a rope ring this small[00:00:46]

Outside the wind is punching[00:00:52]

There's no one to hear it[00:00:56]

No one hears the bell ring[00:00:59]

Except the one who comes to fear it[00:01:02]

And they continue to brawl[00:01:05]

He's buying his way into heaven I suppose[00:01:09]

He weeps at the blows[00:01:15]

But down in a location that we cannot disclose[00:01:20]

He turns the dial slowly[00:01:26]

Through the stations to the cross[00:01:32]

Crowd done up dandy[00:01:38]

In diamonds and finery[00:01:40]

Baying and howling[00:01:43]

All blood lusty calling[00:01:46]

Fists like pistons[00:01:49]

Faces like meat spoiling[00:01:52]

Haul boys haul bully boys haul[00:01:55]

Later that evening[00:02:05]

Molly and her gunman[00:02:07]

Go down the stairs to a dive like a dungeon[00:02:10]

Meanwhile in the backroom there's a girl like a sponge[00:02:15]

Saying bring him in long as a constable's truncheon[00:02:20]

The gunman wants Molly to kingdom come[00:02:28]

Then blows them all to the hereafter[00:02:33]

Who's scuttling away now and hidden from our view[00:02:37]

Who tightened the tourniquet turning her blue[00:02:44]

They're hurling themselves into heaven I suppose[00:02:50]

Before the gates are closed[00:02:56]

But down in a location that we cannot disclose[00:03:02]

They'll turn the dial slowly[00:03:08]

Through the stations to the cross[00:03:13]

The gale of hale laughter[00:03:19]

Scales up the ivory[00:03:22]

The black keys of her fine whine descend into the minor[00:03:25]

Die away breathless[00:03:31]

Diminishing behind her[00:03:33]

Haul boys haul bully boys haul[00:03:36]

The water came up to the eaves[00:03:46]

You'd think someone had opened a valve[00:03:51]

It's too soon to stay now and too late to leave[00:03:56]

So spare your remorse all the way up to Calvary[00:04:02]

They're hurling themselves into heaven I suppose[00:04:09]

Before the gates are closed[00:04:15]

But down in a location that we cannot disclose[00:04:21]

Turning the dial slowly[00:04:26]

Through the stations to the cross[00:04:32]

Through the stations to the cross[00:04:37]

Through the stations to the cross[00:04:43]
