Elvis Costello - After The Fall Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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
