Lyrics for Hurry Down Doomsday by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Hurry Down Doomsday | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 75 | | | | Lyrics: | The man in the corner of this picture has a sinister purpose
In the teeming Temple of the
Railroad Kings
He's planting a trashy paperback book for accidental purchase
Containing
all the secrets of life and other useless things
But I can't bring myself to look
Wake up
Zombie write yourself another book
You want to scream and shout my little flaxen lout
Hurry down Doomsday the bugs are taking over
She sleeps with the shirt of a late,
great country singer
Stretched out on her poor jealous husband's pillow
In time you can
turn these obsessions into careers
While the parents of those kidnapped children start the
bidding
for their tears
But I can't bring myself to look
Wake up Zombie
Get
yourself off the book
You want to scream and shout my little waxen lout
Hurry down
Doomsday the bugs are taking over
Forget about Beethoven, Rembrandt and rock and roll
Forget about Mickey Mouse, Marlboro and Coca Cola
Forget about Cadillac, Mercedes and
Toyota
Forget about Buddha, Allah, Jesus and Jehovah
Hurry down Doomsday the bugs are
taking over
Any day now a giant insect mutation
Will swoop down and devour the white
man's burden
Starting out with all of the sensitive ones
Better make like a fly if you
don't want to die
Look out there goes Gordon
But I can't bring myself to think
Wake up Zombie
Kick up a big stink
You want to scream and shout my little Saxon lout
Hurry down Doomsday the bugs are taking over | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
