《Radio Silence(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Radio Silence (Album Version) - Elvis Costello

[00:00:01] Written By：Elvis Coste

[00:00:13] Signal fading listen to what I'm saying

[00:00:20] Testing testing

[00:00:23] This better be worth all of the breath I'm wasting

[00:00:30] Maintaining radio silence from now on

[00:00:40] Barricaded in the talk radio station

[00:00:47] Hostage taken

[00:00:50] The red On-Air light shines on

[00:00:53] Something cheaper that passes for free speech

[00:00:59] Will have to do

[00:01:07] Hear him coming through loud and clear

[00:01:13] Trickling in your ear

[00:01:21] He'll tell you anything you want to hear

[00:01:35] The tape starts running

[00:01:38] He's going to tell you something

[00:01:42] The strings start strumming

[00:01:45] Another humdrum conundrum

[00:01:48] Signing off now

[00:01:52] Maintaining radio silence from now on

[00:02:02] But there's one thing I should have said

[00:02:08] The hostage will end up dead

[00:02:16] It's just a comedy

[00:02:22] The hostage is me

[00:02:30] So pay the ransom

[00:02:33] Beyond the run-out grove

[00:02:36] Get my wife down here

[00:02:40] A helicopter on the roof

[00:02:43] No police marksman

[00:02:46] Maintaining radio silence from now on

[00:02:57] Mystery voices

[00:03:00] Drowned out by too much choice

[00:03:03] That's not to mention

[00:03:07] The sad waste of this wonderful invention

[00:03:14] Maintaining radio silence from now on

[00:03:24] Libraries filled up with failed ideas

[00:03:30] There's nothing more for me there

[00:03:38] I trust in tender ink and gentle airs

[00:03:52] Do those drug dealer still polish women made of wax

[00:03:58] Gangster and world leaders

[00:04:02] Require the same protection from attack

[00:04:07] From this distance it's hard to tell the difference

[00:04:12] Between a king and jack

[00:04:16] And a poet and hack

[00:04:19] Maintaining radio silence from now on
