Elvis Costello - Tokyo Storm Warning

 (versiyon 1)
Metin boyutu: ( + Büyült ) ( - Küçült)   
The sky fell over cheap Korean monster-movie scenery

And spilled into the mezzanine of the crushed capsule hotel

Between the Disney abattoir and the chemical refinery

And I knew I was in trouble but I thought I was in hell



So you look around the tiny room

And you wonder where the hell you are

While the K.K.K. convention

Are all stranded in the bar



They wear hoods and carry shotguns

In the main streets of Montgomery

But they're helpless here as babies

'Cause they're only here on holiday



What do we care if the world is a joke

(Tokyo storm warning)

We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke

(Tokyo storm warning)

Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

(Tokyo storm warning)

We're only living this instant



The black sand stuck beneath her feet

In a warm Sorrento sunrise

A barefoot girl from Naples

Or was it a Barcelona hi-rise



Whistles out the tuneless theme song

On a hundred cheap suggestions

And a million false seductions

And all those eternal questions



What do we care if the world is a joke

(Tokyo storm warning)

We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke

(Tokyo storm warning)

Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

(Tokyo storm warning)

We're only living this instant



So they flew the Super-Constellation

All the way from Rimini

And feasted them on fish and chips

From a newspaper facsimile



Now dead Italian tourists bodies

Litter up the Broadway

Some people can't be told

You know they have to learn the hard way



Holidays are dirt-cheap in the Costa del Malvinas

In the Hotel Argentina they can hardly tell between us

For Teresa is a waitress

Though she's now known as Juanita



In a tango bar in Stanley or in Puerto Margarita

She's the sweetest and the sauciest

The loveliest and the naughtiest

She's Miss Buenos Aires in a world of lacy lingerie



What do we care if the world is a joke

(Tokyo storm warning)

We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke

(Tokyo storm warning)

Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

(Tokyo storm warning)

We're only living this instant



Japanese God, Jesus robots telling teenage fortunes

For all we know and all we care they might as well be Martians

They say gold paint on the palace gates

Comes from the teeth of pensioners



They're so tired of shooting protest singers

That they hardly mention us

While fountains fill with second-hand perfume

And sodden trading stamps

They'll hang the bullies and the louts that dampen down the day



What do we care if the world is a joke

(Tokyo storm warning)

We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke

(Tokyo storm warning)

Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

(Tokyo storm warning)

We're only living this instant



We braved the cold November air and the undertaker's curses

Saying, "Take me to the Folies Bergere

And please don't spare the hearses"

For he always had a dream of that revolver in your purse



How you loved him 'til you hated him

And made him cry for mercy

He said, "Don't ever mention my name there

Or talk of all the nights you cried

We've always been like worlds apart

Now you're seeing two nightmares collide"



What do we care if the world is a joke

(Tokyo storm warning)

We'll give it a big kiss, we'll give it a poke

(Tokyo storm warning)

Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke

(Tokyo storm warning)

We're only living this instant
