My Dark Life (我的黑暗生活) - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)/Steve Nieve
She says nobody wants to believe

You're the same as everyone

What makes me unique

My dark life

There was a kink in the world

Sent that statue tumbling

An invitation east

So we can watch it all crumbling
She came off like light and so softly she spoke

You don't know
No you don't know about my dark life

And you think you're a guest
You're a tourist at best

Peering into the corners of your dark life

Now that you tear your dreams
From consumptive ballerinas
She'd stand on tiptoes for you
In a grey and tattered tutu
She stays where she is because of voyeurs like these

With an accusative look that says
My dark life

Robber men await you then in each beguiling alley

To shake you and to pierce you and remind you of

My dark life

Enter the pious elite
In their preening finery

And bang the tambourine

They're dining on rice paper scenery

See how the villain attracts envious glances from everyone

She's waitressing by day

It doesn't bring in much money now

And his strong concealed arms set off bells and alarms

In the strangest locations of
My dark life

But the fantasy slipped as he tipped her in cigarettes

She tries to smile very graciously

When she wants to kill him
Now the victory is sweet

You'll get down on your knees

It's the perfect position for kissing western leather

So they came from Ugly Texas
And from Nameless Tennessee

From Peculiar Missouri and from places closer to me

All the cream of heartless England

Cheered the carnival is over

There are remnants of red army bandsmen

Played America The Beautiful
