My Science Fiction Twin Lyrics - Elvis Costello

My science fiction twin 

Is doing better than expected 

He captured a little blonde trophy wife 

Who's really very well connected 

And when he calls home with his alibi 

She says, "Is this really necessary?" 

But she knows that a man can't be a man 

Unless he's punishing his secretary 

He sips in a glow of a '61 vintage 

Just as the day is dimming 

With every intention of surrendering 

To fifty-foot women 

Who put the fascination back into 

My science fiction twin

My science fiction twin 

Decided to become invisible 

He has my eyes, my face, my voice 

But he's only happy when I'm miserable 

The words flew from his mouth 

And they were gently gathered by reporters 

Trying to frame his once infamous flame 

With tattered pictures of her daughter 

Her hair is all made out of porcupine 

Her figure is fantastic 

But as you know, they corrupted her 

So they're being sarcastic 

Who put the fascination back into 

My science fiction twin 

Photos 

He'll scream and shout 

Everything is working out 

Just as he predicted 

Pride and position in the gallery 

Of attempted people 

Oh, and the pain is so sweet 

Better stamp his little feet 

And you'll even have time to pity me 

How can you feel content? 

You wonder where this fellow went 

My science fiction twin 

Escorted by his lovely nieces 

Filled up his purse dictating verse 

While painting masterpieces 

His almost universal excellence 

Is starting to disturb me 

They asked how in the world he does all these things 

And he answered, "Superbly" 

He's trapped in his own parallel dimension 

That's why I'm so forgiving 

But how could I possibly forget to mention 

Those fifty-foot women 

Who put the fascination back into 

My science fiction twin 

My science fiction twin 

My science fiction twin 

My science fiction twin 

My science fiction twin
