Elvis Costello - The Delivery Man Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • "Abel was able," so Vivian said
  • Her shoulders flung forward
  • Her lips in a purse
  • She talks like the beauty that she never was
  • Of the fabulous wild nights that she never has
  • In a certain light he looked like Elvis
  • In a certain way he feels like Jesus
  • Everyone dreams of him just as they can
  • But he's only the humble Delivery Man
  • Geraldine blushes and brushes away
  • The cigarette ashes that Vivian scatters
  • Stares out of the window at the things that she says
  • While gossip within her competes with the widow
  • Ever since he's gone, she feels like crying all the time
  • She knows for sure Vivian is lying
  • Now she has a daughter to raise as she can
  • She just wouldn't trust that Delivery Man
  • Ivy puts down the ghost story she's reading
  • Looks up at that face on the wall
  • Thinking about how her father lay bleeding
  • Shot in the back 'cos orders were misleading
  • And how a flag and a medal don't have any meaning
  • On the 5th of July as they tore down the fair
  • And he'd seen all the local girls who were worth kissing
  • With the smell of the gunpowder still in the air
  • They noticed that Abel and Ivy were missing
  • In a certain light he looked like Elvis
  • In a certain way he seemed like Jesus
  • He said "Why can't we be kind to me like you were meant to be?
  • When they let me out, I had a brand new identity.
  • Now everyone dreams of me just as they can.
  • I want to be your Delivery Man."
