Elvis Costello - Deep Dark Truthful Mirror Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • One day youre going to have to face
  • A deep dark truthful mirror
  • And its going to tell you things that I still love you too much to say
  • The sky was just a purple bruise, the ground was iron
  • And you fell all around the town until you looked the same
  • Chorus:
  • The same eyes, the same lips, the same lie from
  • Your tongue trips
  • Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
  • Deep dark, deep dark truthful mirror
  • Now the flagstone streets where the newspaper shouts ring to the boots of roustabouts
  • But youre never in any doubt, theres something happening somewhere
  • You chase down the road til your fingers bleed
  • On a fiberglass tumbleweed
  • You can blow around the town, but it all shuts down the same
  • Chorus
  • So you bay for the boy in the tiger-skin trunks
  • They set him up, set him up on the stool
  • He falls down, falls down like a drunk
  • And you drink til you drool
  • And its his story youll flatter
  • Youll stretch him out like a saint
  • But the canvas that he splattered will be the
  • Picture that you never paint
  • Chorus
  • A stripping puppet on a liquid stick gets into it pretty thick
  • A butterfly drinks a turtles tears, but how do you know he really needs it?
  • cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkeys hand,
  • Jesus wept he felt abandoned
  • Youre spellbound baby theres no doubting that
  • Did you ever see a stare like a persian cat?
  • Chorus
