《Deep Dark Truthful Mirror》歌词

[00:00:00] Deep Dark Truthful Mirror - Elvis Costello

[00:00:03] One day you're going to have to face

[00:00:07] A deep dark truthful mirror

[00:00:11] And it's going to tell you things that

[00:00:14] I still love you too much to say

[00:00:20] The sky was just a purple bruise

[00:00:25] The ground was iron

[00:00:29] And you fell all around the town until

[00:00:33] You looked the same

[00:00:37] The same eyes the same

[00:00:40] Lips the same lie from

[00:00:43] Your tongue trips

[00:00:46] Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

[00:00:53] Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

[00:01:00] Now the flagstone streets where

[00:01:03] The newspaper shouts ring to the boots of roustabouts

[00:01:10] But you're never in any doubt

[00:01:13] There's something happening somewhere

[00:01:18] You chase down the road til your fingers bleed

[00:01:23] On a fiberglass tumbleweed

[00:01:27] You can blow around the town

[00:01:31] But it all shuts down the same

[00:01:36] The same eyes the same lips

[00:01:40] The same lie from

[00:01:42] Your tongue trips

[00:01:44] Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

[00:01:51] Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

[00:01:57] So you bay for the boy in the tiger-skin trunks

[00:02:02] They set him up

[00:02:04] Set him up on the stool

[00:02:06] He falls down

[00:02:07] Falls down like a drunk

[00:02:11] And you drink til you drool

[00:02:15] And it's his story you'll flatter

[00:02:19] You'll stretch him out like a saint

[00:02:24] But the canvas that he splattered will be the

[00:02:28] Picture that you never paint

[00:02:36] Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

[00:02:43] Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

[00:02:51] A stripping puppet on a liquid

[00:02:53] Stick gets into it pretty thick

[00:03:00] A butterfly drinks a turtles tears

[00:03:04] But how do you know he really needs it

[00:03:08] Cos a butterfly feeds on a dead monkeys hand

[00:03:13] Jesus wept he felt abandoned

[00:03:17] You're spellbound baby there's no doubting that

[00:03:21] Did you ever see a stare like a persian cat

[00:03:26] The same eyes the same lips the same lie

[00:03:32] Your tongue trips

[00:03:35] Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

[00:03:41] Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror

[00:03:48] Deep dark deep dark truthful mirror
