Lyrics for Heathen Town by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Heathen Town | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 73 | | | | Lyrics: | They used to call it Sin City
now it's gone way past that.
Painting the town
and then
burning it down
now even that's old hat.
Now there's a choir of angels
at the fall of
Rome
singing "Ave Maria"
or "Home Sweet Home"
Chorus:
It's just a heathen town
I hear only evil
as my tongue is tightened.
I used to be god-fearing
now I'm so
frightened
'cause the devil will drag you under
by the sharp tailfin
of your
checkered cab
And I can't sit down,
I'm going overboard
in this heathen town.
It starts as a flirtation
and ends up as an expensive habit.
With one eye on her
place
in debtor's prison
And the other on a girl
dressed as a rabbit.
Now you
can live forever
endure fits and starts
The only stake you cannot raise
Is the one
driven through your heart.
