Elvis Costello - This Sad Burlesque Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I write in hopes that by the time you get this letter
  • We may live to see a change for the better
  • Or are we so devoted to these wretched selfish motives
  • When the cold facts and figures all add up
  • They cannot contradict this sad burlesque
  • This sad burlesque
  • With miserable failures making entertainment of our fate
  • Laughter cannot dignify of elevate
  • This sad burlesque
  • Now can they recall being young and idealistic
  • Before wading knee-deep in hogwash and arithmetic
  • The pitying smirk
  • The argument runs like clockwork
  • Will run down eventually and splutter to a stop
  • P.s. well by now you know the worst of it
  • And weve heard all the alibis that theyve rehearsed
  • The smug predictions
  • If its not a contradiction
  • Keep faith in human nature
  • And have mercy on the creatures in this sad burlesque

    • Report error in lyric
