《Stations Of The Cross》歌词

[00:00:00] Stations Of The Cross - Elvis Costello

[00:00:00] Written by：Elvis Costello

[00:00:24] The tempest blows up from a squall

[00:00:28] Past the cape of bad conscience

[00:00:30] Into the gulf of the cauldron

[00:00:33] Roars over the coastline to batter and flatten

[00:00:39] Exposing the roots like the dyed hair of slattern

[00:00:46] Scrapper and mauler in a rope ring this small

[00:00:52] Outside the wind is punching

[00:00:56] There's no one to hear it

[00:00:59] No one hears the bell ring

[00:01:02] Except the one who comes to fear it

[00:01:05] And they continue to brawl

[00:01:09] He's buying his way into heaven I suppose

[00:01:15] He weeps at the blows

[00:01:20] But down in a location that we cannot disclose

[00:01:26] He turns the dial slowly

[00:01:32] Through the stations to the cross

[00:01:38] Crowd done up dandy

[00:01:40] In diamonds and finery

[00:01:43] Baying and howling

[00:01:46] All blood lusty calling

[00:01:49] Fists like pistons

[00:01:52] Faces like meat spoiling

[00:01:55] Haul boys haul bully boys haul

[00:02:05] Later that evening

[00:02:07] Molly and her gunman

[00:02:10] Go down the stairs to a dive like a dungeon

[00:02:15] Meanwhile in the backroom there's a girl like a sponge

[00:02:20] Saying bring him in long as a constable's truncheon

[00:02:28] The gunman wants Molly to kingdom come

[00:02:33] Then blows them all to the hereafter

[00:02:37] Who's scuttling away now and hidden from our view

[00:02:44] Who tightened the tourniquet turning her blue

[00:02:50] They're hurling themselves into heaven I suppose

[00:02:56] Before the gates are closed

[00:03:02] But down in a location that we cannot disclose

[00:03:08] They'll turn the dial slowly

[00:03:13] Through the stations to the cross

[00:03:19] The gale of hale laughter

[00:03:22] Scales up the ivory

[00:03:25] The black keys of her fine whine descend into the minor

[00:03:31] Die away breathless

[00:03:33] Diminishing behind her

[00:03:36] Haul boys haul bully boys haul

[00:03:46] The water came up to the eaves

[00:03:51] You'd think someone had opened a valve

[00:03:56] It's too soon to stay now and too late to leave

[00:04:02] So spare your remorse all the way up to Calvary

[00:04:09] They're hurling themselves into heaven I suppose

[00:04:15] Before the gates are closed

[00:04:21] But down in a location that we cannot disclose

[00:04:26] Turning the dial slowly

[00:04:32] Through the stations to the cross

[00:04:37] Through the stations to the cross

[00:04:43] Through the stations to the cross
