Lyrics for Fall Of The Worlds Own Optimist by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Fall Of The Worlds Own Optimist | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 74 | | | | Lyrics: | There's no charity in you
And that surprises me
I guess I thought you were a golden idol
'Cause I called you majesty
On the balustrade
You watched me hunt for tips I was
obliged to pick up
From the passing trade
CHORUS:
Hey, kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But
you'll have to ask politely
'Cause the eggshells I've been treading
Couldn't spare me a
beheading
And I'll know I had it coming
From a Caesar who was only slumming
Hey,
kids--look at this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
Well, I could have
objections
Which you could override
But what's the point--we're only flogging the horse
When the horseman has up and died
Once I testified
And swore I'd never leave a stone
unturned--
I bet you're really glad that I lied
CHORUS
Hey, kids--look at
this
It's the fall of the world's own optimist
I could get back up if you insist
But
you'll have to ask politely
Yes, you'll have to ask politely
Yes, you'll have to ask | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
