Church Underground - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written by：Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

She stood spotlit in a plain print dress[00:00:03]

Came howling out of the wilderness[00:00:08]

There beat a cunning and murderous heart[00:00:12]

Beneath that calm exterior[00:00:17]

You know my name[00:00:21]

You don't know my mind[00:00:23]

Don't doubt my eyes[00:00:26]

They betray the past[00:00:27]

And I've already forgotten[00:00:30]

Much more than you will ever know[00:00:34]

Every word that I have spoken is true[00:00:39]

Except for one that were broken in two[00:00:43]

Trying to make peace after a long night of pretend[00:00:48]

Need a pawnbroker or moneylender[00:00:52]

Why do you do me down mister[00:00:57]

Sing hallelujah sister[00:01:01]

Turn up the volume just to turn it down[00:01:10]

The trivial secrets buried with profound[00:01:14]

It's enough to put a church underground[00:01:18]

It's enough to put a church underground[00:01:25]

Deflowered young and then ever since[00:01:33]

She's tried to wash off his fingerprints[00:01:38]

So every charlatan and prince[00:01:42]

Was made to feel inferior[00:01:47]

She worked for tips in a 10 cent dance[00:01:51]

Said moving pictures might pay perchance[00:01:56]

10000 one way tickets to the sparkling coast[00:02:00]

From the blank interior[00:02:05]

Everybody's either talking in code[00:02:09]

Or getting ready to explode[00:02:13]

And she was singing with five piece band[00:02:17]

Seems that no one really wants this sound[00:02:22]

Why do you do me down mister[00:02:27]

Sing hallelujah sister[00:02:31]

Turn up the volume just to turn it down[00:02:40]

The trivial secrets buried with profound[00:02:44]

It's enough to put a church underground[00:02:48]

It's enough to put a church underground[00:02:55]

The shaft of fanlight streaked with rain[00:03:03]

Poured through the glass punched through the pain[00:03:08]

A holy picture hidden in the midden of that poisoned stitch[00:03:12]

Her lonely voice was just a ruin in these riches[00:03:19]

She must have been dreaming this all along[00:03:26]

Could she be redeeming herself in song[00:03:30]

I'm no one's martyred plaster saint[00:03:35]

Below the grease beneath the paint[00:03:39]

I'm rolling like barrel[00:03:42]

Swinging like a gallows[00:03:45]

I'm rising up fast like all hell and all hallows[00:03:47]

Why do you do me down mister[00:03:52]

Sing hallelujah sister[00:03:56]

I'll be damned or purgatory bound[00:04:05]

Before those jokers ever understand[00:04:09]

It's enough to put a church underground[00:04:13]

It's enough to put a church underground[00:04:20]

It's enough to put a church underground[00:04:27]
