Lyrics for After The Fall by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | After The Fall | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 65 | | | | Lyrics: | In an anonymous rendezvous
Where the forbidden lovers repair
Theyre burning down another
damn candle
Theyre melting the tables and chairs
Beneath them applause from the
balcony
whenever they accomplished making love
Other times they thought they heard
laughter
Coming from the balcony above
Chorus:
She lies to his right and she
carelessly recites
All of her brand new appetites
She seems brittle and small, it dont sound
like her at all
Since she came back to him after the fall
She said You never visit the
countryside
So Ive made you a country to order
She put up a little tent in the
bedroom
Crickets played on a tape-recorder
The ceiling was festooned with phosphorous
stars
She noticed his skin turning cold
Burning all his clothes on the bonfire
Relax she
whispered and tightened the blindfold
Chorus
Youve changed but not for the better
babe
Id tell you why but whats the use
Cos its the same kind of pity
A drunkard gives as
his excuse
You were sharp and ideal as a bobby pin
Now your eyes are deserted and
quiet
We both look like those poor shattered mannequins
Thrown through the window in the
riot
She lies in his arms and without any qualms
Revels in shallow delights
She
seems brittle and small, it dont sound like her at all
Since she came back to him after the fall | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
