Hora Decubitus Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Siren is bending, the radio humming 

Sun is breaking through and the storm is coming 

The score is obscure, the melody fractured 

It went by my window, refused to be captured 

I hope that I wake up in time 

Good King Neptune came flipping up my street 

He was a sad case tripping up the staircase 

Friends and relations are laughing at my head 

Gathered like crows at the end of my bed

I hope that I wake up in time 

If you can't or can't quite 

Think again, you can't fight 

That you might not be smite 

If it's wrong, it's not right 

I say it once and I'll say it again 

Now and forever and ever, amen 

Siren is bending, the radio is humming, 

Who do you love now and who are you damning? 

The score is obscure and the melody fractured 

The bird by my window refused to be captured 

I hope I wake up in time 

If you can or can't quite 

Think again, you can't fight 

That you might not be smite

If it's wrong, it's not right 

I'll say it once and I'll say it again 

Life is a beautiful thing 

I've said it before 

I can't say it much more 

Life is a beautiful thing
