Lyrics for Episode Of Blonde by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Episode Of Blonde | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 80 | | | | Lyrics: | I spy for the "Spirit of Curiosity"
All the scandals of each vain monstrosity
I gossip and I
pry and I insinuate
If the failure is great
Then it tends to fascinate
A tornado
dropped a funnel cloud with twenty tons of rain
Though she had the attention span of warm
cellophane
Her lovers fell like skittles in a 10-pin bowling lane
But nothing could compare
with the explosion of fame
So you jumped back with alarm
Every Elvis has his
army
Every rattlesnake his charm
Can you still hear me?
Am I coming through just
fine?
Your memory was buried in simple box of pine
Did her green eyes seduce you and
make you get so weak?
Was there fire engine red that she left upon your cheek?
It's such a
shame you had to break the heart
You could have counted on but the last thing you need is
another
Episode of blonde
Revolving like a jeweller's figure on a music
box
Spangled curtain parted and night-club scene unlocks
Pinned and fixed and fastened in a
follow spot
Arms thrown out to everyone, she's giving all she's got
To the last gasp of a
wounded bandeon
Tiny man imploring to the ceiling fan
This stolen feeling
Amplified up
through a busted speaker
Blaring, blasting, advertising, distorted beyond reason
Into the
street where petty crime-coats shadow panic drunkards,
Half out of the taxi cab the barker
seized my elbow
He thought I was another lonely, likely pilgrim looking for St.
Telmo
Repeat chorus
I tried to keep a straight face but you know it never
pays
He would stare into those eyes and then vacation in her gaze
She was a cute little ruin
that he pulled out of the rubble
Now they are both living in a soft soap bubble
