My Dark Life Lyrics - Elvis Costello

She says, nobody wants to believe 

You're the same as everyone 

What makes 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 on like a light 

And so softly she spoke 

You don't know, 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 

My dark life

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Now that you, you tear, your dreams 

From consumptive, ballerinas 

She'll stand on tiptoe for you 

In a gray and tattered tutu 

She stay's where, the is 

'Cause of voyeurs like these 

With an accusative look that says 

My dark life 

Rubber men await you there 

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 

Photos 

See how the villain attracts 

Envious glances from everyone 

She's waitressing by day 

It doesn't bring in, much money now 

And as strong concealed, arms 

Set off bells and alarms 

In the strangest locations of 

My dark life 

But the fantasies 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 get down upon your knees 

It's the perfect position 

For kissing west on 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 

Cheer the carnival is over 

And remnants of red army bandsmen 

Played, "America The Beautiful"
