《Tokyo Storm Warning》歌词

[00:00:00] Tokyo Storm Warning Album Version - Elvis Costello & The Attractions

[00:00:16] The sky fell over cheap Korean monster movie scenery

[00:00:22] And spilled into the mezzanine

[00:00:25] Of the crushed capsule hotel

[00:00:28] Between the Disney abattoir

[00:00:31] And the chemical refinery

[00:00:34] And I knew I was in trouble

[00:00:36] But I thought I was in hell

[00:00:46] So you look around the tiny room

[00:00:49] And you wonder where the hell you are

[00:00:52] While the K K K

[00:00:54] Convention are all stranded in the bar

[00:00:58] They wear hoods and carry shotguns

[00:01:01] In the main streets of Montgomery

[00:01:04] But they're helpless here as babies

[00:01:07] 'Cause they're only here on holiday

[00:01:11] What do we care if the world is a joke

[00:01:15] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:01:16] We'll give it a big kiss

[00:01:19] We'll give it a poke

[00:01:20] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:01:23] Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

[00:01:26] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:01:29] We're only living this instant

[00:01:34] The black sand stuck beneath

[00:01:36] Her feet in a warm Sorrento sunrise

[00:01:40] A barefoot girl from Naples

[00:01:43] Or was it a Barcelona hi-rise

[00:01:46] Whistles out the tuneless theme

[00:01:49] Song on a hundred cheap suggestions

[00:01:52] And a million false seductions

[00:01:55] And all those eternal questions

[00:01:59] What do we care if the world is a joke

[00:02:03] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:02:05] We'll give it a big kiss

[00:02:08] We'll give it a poke

[00:02:09] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:02:11] Death wears a big hat

[00:02:14] 'Cause he's a big bloke

[00:02:15] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:02:17] We're only living this instant

[00:02:23] So they flew the Super Constellation all the way from Rimini

[00:02:29] And feasted them on fish

[00:02:31] And chips from a newspaper facsimile

[00:02:34] Now dead Italian tourists bodies litter up the Broadway

[00:02:41] Some people can't be told you

[00:02:43] Know they have to learn the hard way

[00:02:59] Holidays are dirt-cheap in the Costa del Malvinas

[00:03:04] In the Hotel Argentina they can hardly tell between us

[00:03:10] For Teresa is a waitress though she's now known as Juanita

[00:03:16] In a tango bar in Stanley or in Puerto Margarita

[00:03:22] She's the sweetest and the sauciest

[00:03:26] The loveliest and the naughtiest

[00:03:29] She's Miss Buenos Aires in a world of lacy lingerie

[00:03:35] What do we care if the world is a joke

[00:03:39] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:03:41] We'll give it a big kiss

[00:03:44] We'll give it a poke

[00:03:45] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:03:47] Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

[00:03:51] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:03:53] We're only living this instant

[00:03:59] Japanese God Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes

[00:04:05] For all we know and all we care

[00:04:08] They might as well be Martians

[00:04:11] They say gold paint on the palace gates

[00:04:14] Comes from the teeth of pensioners

[00:04:17] They're so tired of shooting protest singers

[00:04:20] That they hardly mention us

[00:04:23] While fountains fill with second-hand perfume

[00:04:27] And sodden trading stamps

[00:04:29] They'll hang the bullies

[00:04:31] And the louts that dampen down the day

[00:04:36] What do we care if the world is a joke

[00:04:39] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:04:41] We'll give it a big kiss

[00:04:44] We'll give it a poke

[00:04:45] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:04:48] Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

[00:04:51] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:04:54] We're only living this instant

[00:04:57] Hey

[00:04:59] We braved the cold November air

[00:05:03] And the undertaker's curses

[00:05:06] Saying Take me to the Folies Bergere

[00:05:08] And please don't spare the hearses

[00:05:11] For he always had a dream of

[00:05:14] That revolver in your purse

[00:05:17] How you loved him 'til you hated him

[00:05:20] And made him cry for mercy

[00:05:23] He said Don't ever mention my name there

[00:05:26] Or talk of all the nights you cried

[00:05:29] We've always been like worlds apart

[00:05:32] Now you're seeing two nightmares collide

[00:05:36] What do we care if the world is a joke

[00:05:40] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:05:41] We'll give it a big kiss

[00:05:44] We'll give it a poke

[00:05:45] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:05:48] Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

[00:05:51] Tokyo Storm Warning

[00:05:54] We're only living this instant

[00:05:57] Wah ow
