Turpentine (Album Version) - Elvis Costello
I can't tell if this is real
or if I am sleeping

I'll embroider the truth and
that's so I shall reap

I took things that
didn't belong to me
I didn't mean
to do you wrong

Looking back on all that stolen time

Back when I was drinking turpentine
Don't blame me
I only took you in

It takes time to do the poisoning

So let's close the door on this and lock it

And that's all it will ever be

Just an accident of chemistry

You did everything to me
but stopped short of murder

Couldn't move me much closer to keeping my word

While the crowds threw stones at the hangman

The sky fell down
the bells rang

Looking back on all that stolen time

Back when I was drinking turpentine
Don't blame me, I only took you in

It takes time to do the poisoning

So let's close the door on this and lock it

And that's all that it will ever be

Just an accident of chemistry

Airless shaft of an underground railway

Effete assassin with a hawk in a sack

The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail
As it swallows the river running under the track

Under the track, yeah

I can't tell if I'm dreaming or
if I'll awaken

With a song in my heart
that is longing to break

Let it out and let it fly high
Up where the spires scrape the sky

Looking back on all that stolen time
Back when I was drinking turpentine
Don't blame me, I only took you in

It takes time to do the poisoning

So let's close the door on this and lock it

And that's all that it will ever be

Just an accident of history, yeah

Airless shaft of an underground railway

Cute assassin with a hawk in a sack

The earth will offer us in when our hearts fail

Swallowed the river running under the track

That's right
