Elvis Costello - Turpentine Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • I can't tell if this is real or if I am sleeping
  • I'll embroider the truth
  • And that's so I shall reap
  • I took things that didn't belong to me
  • I didn't mean to do you wrong
  • Looking back on all that stolen time
  • Back when I was drinking turpentine
  • Don't blame me
  • I only took you in
  • It takes time to do the poisoning
  • So let's close the door on this and lock it
  • And that's all it will ever be
  • Just an accident of chemistry
  • You did everything to me but stopped short of murder
  • Couldn't move me much closer to keeping my word
  • While the crowds threw stones at the hangman
  • The sky fell down
  • The bells rang
  • Looking back on all that stolen time
  • Back when I was drinking turpentine
  • Don't blame me
  • I only took you in
  • It takes time to do the poisoning
  • So let's close the door on this and lock it
  • And that's all that it will ever be
  • Just an accident of chemistry
  • Airless shaft of an underground railway
  • Effete assassin with a hawk in a sack
  • The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail
  • As it swallowed the river running under the track
  • Under the track yeah
  • I can't tell if I'm dreaming or if I'll awaken
  • With a song in my heart that is longing to break
  • Let it out and let it fly high
  • Up where the spires scrape the sky
  • Looking back on all that stolen time
  • Back when I was drinking turpentine
  • Don't blame me
  • I only took you in
  • It takes time to do the poisoning
  • So let's close the door on this and lock it
  • And that's all that it will ever be
  • Just an accident of history
  • Yeah
  • Airless shaft of an underground railway
  • Cute assassin with a hawk in a sack
  • The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail
  • Swallowed the river running under the track
  • That's right
