Turpentine (Album Version) - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]
I can't tell if this is real[00:00:19]
Or if I am sleeping[00:00:21]
I'll embroider the truth and[00:00:27]
That's so I shall reap[00:00:30]
I took things that[00:00:36]
Didn't belong to me[00:00:37]
I didn't mean[00:00:40]
To do you wrong[00:00:42]
Looking back on all that stolen time[00:00:45]
Back when I was drinking turpentine[00:00:49]
Don't blame me[00:00:54]
I only took you in[00:00:55]
It takes time to do the poisoning[00:00:59]
So let's close the door on this and lock it[00:01:02]
And that's all it will ever be[00:01:12]
Just an accident of chemistry[00:01:16]
You did everything to me[00:01:25]
But stopped short of murder[00:01:28]
Couldn't move me much closer to keeping my word[00:01:34]
While the crowds threw stones at the hangman[00:01:43]
The sky fell down[00:01:47]
The bells rang[00:01:48]
Looking back on all that stolen time[00:01:51]
Back when I was drinking turpentine[00:01:56]
Don't blame me I only took you in[00:02:00]
It takes time to do the poisoning[00:02:05]
So let's close the door on this and lock it[00:02:09]
And that's all that it will ever be[00:02:18]
Just an accident of chemistry[00:02:23]
Airless shaft of an underground railway[00:02:36]
Effete assassin with a hawk in a sack[00:02:41]
The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail[00:02:45]
As it swallows the river running under the track[00:02:49]
Under the track yeah[00:02:54]
I can't tell if I'm dreaming or[00:03:01]
If I'll awaken[00:03:04]
With a song in my heart[00:03:10]
That is longing to break[00:03:12]
Let it out and let it fly high[00:03:19]
Up where the spires scrape the sky[00:03:23]
Looking back on all that stolen time[00:03:27]
Back when I was drinking turpentine[00:03:32]
Don't blame me I only took you in[00:03:36]
It takes time to do the poisoning[00:03:41]
So let's close the door on this and lock it[00:03:46]
And that's all that it will ever be[00:03:54]
Just an accident of history yeah[00:03:59]
Airless shaft of an underground railway[00:04:31]
Cute assassin with a hawk in a sack[00:04:39]
The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail[00:04:48]
Swallowed the river running under the track[00:04:57]
That's right[00:05:05]
