Elvis Costello - Tokyo Storm Warning Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • The sky fell over cheap korean monster-movie scenery
  • And spilled into the reservoir of the crushed capsule hotel
  • Between the disney abattoir and the chemical refinery
  • And I knew I was in trouble but I thought I was in hell
  • So you look around the tiny room and you wonder where the hell you are
  • While the k.k.k. convention are all stranded in the bar
  • They wear hoods and carry shotguns in the main streets of montgomery
  • But theyre helpless here as babies cause theyre only here on holiday
  • Chorus: what do we care if the world is a joke
  • (tokyo storm warning)
  • Well give it a big kiss
  • Well give it a poke
  • (tokyo storm warning)
  • Death wears a big hat cause hes a big bloke
  • (tokyo storm warning)
  • Were only living this instant
  • The black sand stuck beneath her feet in a warm sorrento sunrise
  • A barefoot girl from naples or was it a barcelona hi-rise
  • Whistles out the tuneless theme song on a hundred cheap suggestions
  • And a million false seductions and all those eternal questions
  • Chorus
  • So they flew the super-constellation all the way from rimini
  • And feasted them on fish and chips from a newspaper facsimile
  • Now dead italian tourists bodies litter up the broadway
  • Some people cant be told you know they have to learn the hard way
  • Holidays are dirt-cheap in the costa del malvinas
  • In the hotel argentina they can hardly tell between us
  • For teresa is a waitress though shes now known as juanita
  • In a tango bar in stanley or in puerto margarita
  • Shes the sweetest and the sauciest
  • The loveliest and the naughtiest
  • Shes miss buenos aires in a world of lacy lingerie
  • Chorus
  • Japanese god-jesus robots telling teenage fortunes
  • For all we know and all we care they might as well be martians
  • They say gold paint on the palace gates comes from the teeth of pensioners
  • Theyre so tired of shooting protest singers
  • That they hardly mention us
  • While fountains fill with second-hand perfume
  • And sodden trading stamps
  • Theyll hang the bullies and the louts that dampen down the day
  • Chorus
  • We braved the cold november air and the undertakers curses
  • Saying take me to the folies bergere and please dont spare the hearses
  • For he always had a dream of that revolver in your purse
  • How you loved him til you hated him and made him cry for mercy
  • He said dont ever mention my name there or talk of all the nights you cried
  • Weve always been like worlds apart now youre seeing two nightmares collide
  • Chorus
