Lyrics for You Tripped At Every Step by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Brutal Youth | | Track: | You Tripped At Every Step | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 73 | | | | Lyrics: | Take your tiny feet out of your mother's shoes
Or there is going to be a terrible
scene
It's not just the lipstick drawn on crooked
When they find how wicked we
are
How wicked we have been
How I've been tempted
Chorus:
How you tripped
at every step
You tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
How you tripped at
every step
There's a merry tune that starts in "I"
And ends in "You" like many
famous pop songs do
And you would sing along with little tell-tale staggers
While
balancing on daggers
Though they were killing you
You looked so
deadly
-chorus-
And I would run to catch you
Any Time you call
Only
you drank that potion
And went out of control
There's nothing to stop you
So how can
you fall
Let me take your hand
Put down that frying pan
Darkness would become
me underneath the table
As the fury raged around the house
Your despairing tread was angry
and unstable
You never suspected
Just as that cartoon mouse
Went
undetected
So you tripped at every step
In another world of gin and
cigarettes
Those cocktail cabinets put mud in your eye
Maybe that is why you find it hard
to see me
And if you don't believe me
Before you start to cry
Don't ever leave
me
As you start to lose your grip
(As you start losing your grip)
You will
stumble and you slip
(And you will stumble and slip)
As you tripped at every step
You
tripped at every step, you tripped at every step
As you tripped at every step | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
