《Tokyo Storm Warning》歌词

[00:00:00] Tokyo Storm Warning - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)

[00:00:01] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:18] The sky fell over cheap Korean monster movie scenery

[00:00:24] And spilled into the mezzanine of the crushed capsule hotel

[00:00:30] Between the Disney abattoir and the chemical refinery

[00:00:36] And I knew I was in trouble but I thought I was in hell

[00:00:48] So you look around the tiny room and you wonder where the hell you are

[00:00:54] While the k k k convention are all stranded in the bar

[00:01:00] They wear hoods and carry shotguns in the main streets of Montgomery

[00:01:06] But they're helpless here as babies

[00:01:09] Cause they're only here on holiday

[00:01:12] What do we care if the world is a joke

[00:01:17] Tokyo storm warning

[00:01:18] We'll give it a big kiss

[00:01:21] We'll give it a poke

[00:01:23] Tokyo storm warning

[00:01:25] Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

[00:01:29] Tokyo storm warning

[00:01:31] We're only living this instant

[00:01:36] The black sand stuck beneath her feet in a warm sorrento sunrise

[00:01:42] A barefoot girl from Naples or was it a Barcelona hi rise

[00:01:48] Whistles out the tuneless theme song

[00:01:51] On a hundred cheap suggestions

[00:01:54] And a million false seductions and all those eternal questions

[00:02:00] Well

[00:02:01] What do we care if the world is a joke

[00:02:05] Tokyo storm warning

[00:02:06] We'll give it a big kiss

[00:02:09] We'll give it a poke

[00:02:11] Tokyo storm warning

[00:02:13] Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

[00:02:17] Tokyo storm warning

[00:02:19] We're only living this instant

[00:02:25] So they flew the super constellation all the way from rimini

[00:02:31] And feasted them on fish and chips from a newspaper facsimile

[00:02:36] Now dead Italian tourists bodies litter up the Broadway

[00:02:43] Some people can't be told you know they have to learn the hard way

[00:03:01] Holidays are dirt cheap in the costa del malvinas

[00:03:06] In the hotel Argentina they can hardly tell between us

[00:03:12] For Teresa is a waitress though she's now known as Juanita

[00:03:18] In a tango bar in Stanley or in puerto margarita

[00:03:24] She's the sweetest and the sauciest

[00:03:28] The loveliest and the naughtiest

[00:03:31] She's miss buenos aires in a world of lacy lingerie

[00:03:37] What do we care if the world is a joke

[00:03:41] Tokyo storm warning

[00:03:43] We'll give it a big kiss

[00:03:46] We'll give it a poke

[00:03:47] Tokyo storm warning

[00:03:49] Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

[00:03:53] Tokyo storm warning

[00:03:55] We're only living this instant

[00:04:01] Japanese god Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes

[00:04:07] For all we know and all we care they might as well be martians

[00:04:13] They say gold paint on the palace gates

[00:04:16] Comes from the teeth of pensioners

[00:04:19] They're so tired of shooting protest singers

[00:04:22] That they hardly mention us

[00:04:25] While fountains fill with second hand perfume

[00:04:29] And sodden trading stamps

[00:04:31] They'll hang the bullies and the louts that dampen down the day

[00:04:37] What do we care if the world is a joke

[00:04:41] Tokyo storm warning

[00:04:43] We'll give it a big kiss

[00:04:46] We'll give it a poke

[00:04:47] Tokyo storm warning

[00:04:49] Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

[00:04:53] Tokyo storm warning

[00:04:55] We're only living this instant

[00:05:01] We braved the cold November air and the undertaker's curses

[00:05:07] Saying take me to the follies Berger

[00:05:10] And please don't spare the hearses

[00:05:13] For he always had a dream of that revolver in your purse

[00:05:19] How you loved him 'til you hated him and made him cry for mercy

[00:05:25] He said don't ever mention my name there

[00:05:28] Or talk of all the nights you cried

[00:05:31] We've always been like worlds apart

[00:05:34] Now you're seeing two nightmares collide

[00:05:38] What do we care if the world is a joke

[00:05:42] Tokyo storm warning

[00:05:43] We'll give it a big kiss

[00:05:46] We'll give it a poke

[00:05:48] Tokyo storm warning

[00:05:50] Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

[00:05:54] Tokyo storm warning

[00:05:56] We're only living this instant
