Tokyo Storm Warning - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:01]

The sky fell over cheap Korean monster movie scenery[00:00:18]

And spilled into the mezzanine of the crushed capsule hotel[00:00:24]

Between the Disney abattoir and the chemical refinery[00:00:30]

And I knew I was in trouble but I thought I was in hell[00:00:36]

So you look around the tiny room and you wonder where the hell you are[00:00:48]

While the k k k convention are all stranded in the bar[00:00:54]

They wear hoods and carry shotguns in the main streets of Montgomery[00:01:00]

But they're helpless here as babies[00:01:06]

Cause they're only here on holiday[00:01:09]

What do we care if the world is a joke[00:01:12]

Tokyo storm warning[00:01:17]

We'll give it a big kiss[00:01:18]

We'll give it a poke[00:01:21]

Tokyo storm warning[00:01:23]

Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke[00:01:25]

Tokyo storm warning[00:01:29]

We're only living this instant[00:01:31]

The black sand stuck beneath her feet in a warm sorrento sunrise[00:01:36]

A barefoot girl from Naples or was it a Barcelona hi rise[00:01:42]

Whistles out the tuneless theme song[00:01:48]

On a hundred cheap suggestions[00:01:51]

And a million false seductions and all those eternal questions[00:01:54]

Well[00:02:00]

What do we care if the world is a joke[00:02:01]

Tokyo storm warning[00:02:05]

We'll give it a big kiss[00:02:06]

We'll give it a poke[00:02:09]

Tokyo storm warning[00:02:11]

Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke[00:02:13]

Tokyo storm warning[00:02:17]

We're only living this instant[00:02:19]

So they flew the super constellation all the way from rimini[00:02:25]

And feasted them on fish and chips from a newspaper facsimile[00:02:31]

Now dead Italian tourists bodies litter up the Broadway[00:02:36]

Some people can't be told you know they have to learn the hard way[00:02:43]

Holidays are dirt cheap in the costa del malvinas[00:03:01]

In the hotel Argentina they can hardly tell between us[00:03:06]

For Teresa is a waitress though she's now known as Juanita[00:03:12]

In a tango bar in Stanley or in puerto margarita[00:03:18]

She's the sweetest and the sauciest[00:03:24]

The loveliest and the naughtiest[00:03:28]

She's miss buenos aires in a world of lacy lingerie[00:03:31]

What do we care if the world is a joke[00:03:37]

Tokyo storm warning[00:03:41]

We'll give it a big kiss[00:03:43]

We'll give it a poke[00:03:46]

Tokyo storm warning[00:03:47]

Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke[00:03:49]

Tokyo storm warning[00:03:53]

We're only living this instant[00:03:55]

Japanese god Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes[00:04:01]

For all we know and all we care they might as well be martians[00:04:07]

They say gold paint on the palace gates[00:04:13]

Comes from the teeth of pensioners[00:04:16]

They're so tired of shooting protest singers[00:04:19]

That they hardly mention us[00:04:22]

While fountains fill with second hand perfume[00:04:25]

And sodden trading stamps[00:04:29]

They'll hang the bullies and the louts that dampen down the day[00:04:31]

What do we care if the world is a joke[00:04:37]

Tokyo storm warning[00:04:41]

We'll give it a big kiss[00:04:43]

We'll give it a poke[00:04:46]

Tokyo storm warning[00:04:47]

Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke[00:04:49]

Tokyo storm warning[00:04:53]

We're only living this instant[00:04:55]

We braved the cold November air and the undertaker's curses[00:05:01]

Saying take me to the follies Berger[00:05:07]

And please don't spare the hearses[00:05:10]

For he always had a dream of that revolver in your purse[00:05:13]

How you loved him 'til you hated him and made him cry for mercy[00:05:19]

He said don't ever mention my name there[00:05:25]

Or talk of all the nights you cried[00:05:28]

We've always been like worlds apart[00:05:31]

Now you're seeing two nightmares collide[00:05:34]

What do we care if the world is a joke[00:05:38]

Tokyo storm warning[00:05:42]

We'll give it a big kiss[00:05:43]

We'll give it a poke[00:05:46]

Tokyo storm warning[00:05:48]

Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke[00:05:50]

Tokyo storm warning[00:05:54]

We're only living this instant[00:05:56]
