《Beyond Belief》歌词

[00:00:01] Beyond Belief - Elvis Costello

[00:00:07] History repeats the old conceits

[00:00:09] The glib replies the same defeats

[00:00:12] Keep your finger on important issues

[00:00:14] With crocodile tears and a pocketful of tissues

[00:00:17] Im just the oily slick

[00:00:19] On the windup world of the nervous tick

[00:00:23] In a very fashionable hovel

[00:00:28] I hang around dying to be tortured

[00:00:30] Youll never be alone in the bone orchard

[00:00:32] This battle with the bottle is nothing so novel

[00:00:39] So in this almost empty gin palace

[00:00:43] Through a two-way looking glass

[00:00:46] You see your alice

[00:00:50] You know she has no sense

[00:00:52] For all your jealousy

[00:00:55] In a sense she still smiles very sweetly

[00:00:59] Charged with insults and flattery

[00:01:02] Her body moves with malice

[00:01:04] Do you have to be so cruel to be callous

[00:01:10] And now you find you

[00:01:12] Fit this identikit completely

[00:01:15] You say you have no secrets

[00:01:17] And then leave discreetly

[00:01:21] I might make it californias fault

[00:01:22] Be locked in genevas deepest vault

[00:01:25] Just like the canals of mars

[00:01:27] And the great barrier reef

[00:01:28] I come to you beyond belief

[00:01:35] My hands were clammy and cunning

[00:01:38] Shes been suitably stunning

[00:01:41] But I know theres not a hope in hades

[00:01:46] All the laddies cat call and wolf whistle

[00:01:51] So-called gentlemen and ladies

[00:01:54] Dog fight like rose and thistle

[00:01:56] Ive got a feeling

[00:01:59] Im going to get a lot of grief

[00:02:01] Once this seemed so appealing

[00:02:04] Now I am beyond belief
