A Voice In The Dark - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

You can read right through a book of matches[00:00:15]

But that won't make you smart[00:00:18]

You can laugh in the face of watches[00:00:21]

But time will only break your heart[00:00:25]

Kings reign beneath umbrellas[00:00:28]

Hide pennies down in cellars[00:00:32]

And money pours down and yet[00:00:35]

Not everyone gets soaking wet[00:00:38]

When bores and bullies conspire[00:00:42]

To stamp out your spark[00:00:46]

Listen for a voice in the dark[00:00:49]

Not a moment too soon as we blue the moon[00:00:55]

And a wolf begins to howl in tune[00:00:59]

I announced for all mankind a boon[00:01:02]

Stand aside you big baboon[00:01:06]

Now I'm the a prize invention girl[00:01:08]

You're the image of yourself[00:01:10]

Forget your cares[00:01:12]

Your disapproving stares[00:01:14]

I'm not here to try to jump your borders[00:01:16]

Just ask your nieces and daughters[00:01:20]

I'm flat as sole I'm happy as a clam[00:01:23]

But you don't know the kind of man I am[00:01:26]

Little fish swimming in a jealous shoal[00:01:30]

Now my net is overflowing[00:01:33]

And I suddenly seem to be all seeing and all knowing[00:01:36]

I've got something right there[00:01:40]

You might want to hear[00:01:41]

I have no fear lend a hand lend an ear[00:01:44]

If your rent money is in arrears[00:01:47]

We'll be striking up a symphony bandstand[00:01:51]

Long of hair and loose of tooth[00:01:55]

There'll be pirouettes and startling handstands[00:01:58]

And who but acrobats know how to tell the truth[00:02:02]

When all is said that then redundant[00:02:05]

They gallivant in peg leg pants[00:02:08]

I'll be your servant[00:02:12]

You'll be my pal[00:02:13]

And I'll be faithful you know I shall[00:02:15]

There's no fool like an old fool[00:02:19]

Who blames it all upon his youth[00:02:23]

When times are tough and you find you're down[00:02:26]

Without a star to wish upon[00:02:30]

Listen for a voice in the dark[00:02:33]

I was striking through a box of matches[00:02:40]

Hoping that one would spark[00:02:43]

I heard somebody calling to me[00:02:47]

A voice in the dark[00:02:50]

The sound both wild and gentle[00:02:54]

Daring and confidential[00:02:57]

I thought there was music playing[00:03:01]

But it was all and only talk[00:03:04]

When liars and bullies conspire to stamp out your spark[00:03:07]

Fill up that empty space in your heart[00:03:15]

Listen up when the herald says hark[00:03:18]

Believe in a voice in the dark[00:03:22]
