《Turpentine(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] Turpentine (Album Version) - Elvis Costello

[00:00:19] I can't tell if this is real

[00:00:21] Or if I am sleeping

[00:00:27] I'll embroider the truth and

[00:00:30] That's so I shall reap

[00:00:36] I took things that

[00:00:37] Didn't belong to me

[00:00:40] I didn't mean

[00:00:42] To do you wrong

[00:00:45] Looking back on all that stolen time

[00:00:49] Back when I was drinking turpentine

[00:00:54] Don't blame me

[00:00:55] I only took you in

[00:00:59] It takes time to do the poisoning

[00:01:02] So let's close the door on this and lock it

[00:01:12] And that's all it will ever be

[00:01:16] Just an accident of chemistry

[00:01:25] You did everything to me

[00:01:28] But stopped short of murder

[00:01:34] Couldn't move me much closer to keeping my word

[00:01:43] While the crowds threw stones at the hangman

[00:01:47] The sky fell down

[00:01:48] The bells rang

[00:01:51] Looking back on all that stolen time

[00:01:56] Back when I was drinking turpentine

[00:02:00] Don't blame me I only took you in

[00:02:05] It takes time to do the poisoning

[00:02:09] So let's close the door on this and lock it

[00:02:18] And that's all that it will ever be

[00:02:23] Just an accident of chemistry

[00:02:36] Airless shaft of an underground railway

[00:02:41] Effete assassin with a hawk in a sack

[00:02:45] The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail

[00:02:49] As it swallows the river running under the track

[00:02:54] Under the track yeah

[00:03:01] I can't tell if I'm dreaming or

[00:03:04] If I'll awaken

[00:03:10] With a song in my heart

[00:03:12] That is longing to break

[00:03:19] Let it out and let it fly high

[00:03:23] Up where the spires scrape the sky

[00:03:27] Looking back on all that stolen time

[00:03:32] Back when I was drinking turpentine

[00:03:36] Don't blame me I only took you in

[00:03:41] It takes time to do the poisoning

[00:03:46] So let's close the door on this and lock it

[00:03:54] And that's all that it will ever be

[00:03:59] Just an accident of history yeah

[00:04:31] Airless shaft of an underground railway

[00:04:39] Cute assassin with a hawk in a sack

[00:04:48] The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail

[00:04:57] Swallowed the river running under the track

[00:05:05] That's right
