Song title: Elvis Costello - Suffering Face

Edit By: 216.73.216.11

Well, theres an old mans fantasy
Put in a young girls mouth
Like cheap pink lipstick
Smeared on her wedding dress
Will you look what youve done to her
Will you look at this disgrace
Well, its all over
Your suffering face
If we were chrome, we would be rusty
If we were thirst, we would be quenched
You dont need the same old rivet gun
You need a brand new wrench
Someone to pull you down on the ground
And cover you with kisses
Once I was the jewel of your heart
Now Im only semi-precious
But if I seem so preoccupied
Its just my alibi--Im all broken up inside
Even the words of love seem cruel and crass
When youre tough and transparent as armored glass
I prepared a bed for you
Then I sprayed perfume
Upon the wilted roses
That Id scattered round the room
You came in gentle as a lamb
And turned into a terror
And you left your love and other threats
In the steam fading on my bathroom mirror
Well, its an old mans fantasy
Put in a young girls mouth
Like cheap pink lipstick
Smeared on her wedding dress
Will you look what youve done to me
Now youve put me in my place
Oh, its all over
Its all over
Its all over
Your suffering face
