《International Echo》歌词

[00:00:00] International Echo - Elvis Costello

[00:00:17] The streets were deserted and the house was dark

[00:00:21] Down in the basement there was the faintest spark

[00:00:25] Three boys hoping to make their mark

[00:00:28] International echo

[00:00:33] They said it was nothing but a worthless toy

[00:00:37] Sign right here and you can be employed

[00:00:41] Woke up startled in the state of joy

[00:00:44] International echo

[00:00:49] The roof is shaking and the house is ablaze

[00:00:53] I've been wide-awake for days

[00:00:57] I thought I heard a signal breaking through

[00:01:01] At this distance that is hard to do

[00:01:05] Could be seven inches could be twelve

[00:01:09] Drop the needle on it and let it revolve

[00:01:13] I felt a pulse and a drum tattoo

[00:01:17] I was just thinking about you

[00:01:21] Send out a message and it's sure to rebound

[00:01:25] What's that I hear and what' s that sound

[00:01:29] Seems to be coming from under the ground

[00:01:33] International echo

[00:01:37] It can't be repeated it can't be resisted

[00:01:42] It went out straight it came back twisted

[00:01:45] If you didn't see it their then you probably missed it

[00:01:49] International echo

[00:01:54] Must be something in the atmosphere

[00:01:58] Let me be your volunteer

[00:02:02] I thought I heard a signal coming through

[00:02:06] In a language that I never knew

[00:02:10] Give me seven inches give me twelve

[00:02:14] Drop the needle on it and let it revolve

[00:02:18] I felt a pulse and a drum tattoo

[00:02:22] Even though it was taboo

[00:02:25] Solo

[00:02:42] Well they paid me money for playing pretend

[00:02:46] Then they said that it must be the end

[00:02:50] But I was just following the popular trend

[00:02:54] International echo

[00:02:58] The beer from the bottle wine from the grape

[00:03:02] I stood up straight got bent out of shape

[00:03:06] Now I'm just looking for some way to escape

[00:03:09] International echo

[00:03:14] But everything I said just seems automatic

[00:03:18] The radio plays nothing but static

[00:03:22] I think that I'm about to flip my lid

[00:03:26] My waitress said that she might be my kid

[00:03:30] And give me seven inches give me twelve

[00:03:34] Well drop the needle on it and let it revolve

[00:03:38] Did you hear me calling you

[00:03:40] 'Cause hear I go

[00:03:42] International echo echo

[00:03:46] Solo

[00:04:02] The streets were deserted the house was dark

[00:04:06] Down in the basement there's the faintest spark

[00:04:10] Three boys hoping to make their mark

[00:04:13] International echo
