Veronica Lyrics - Unfaithful Music - Elvis Costello

Is it all in that pretty little head of yours? 

What goes on in that place in the dark? 

Well I used to know a girl and I would have 

sworn that her name was Veronica 

Well she used to have a carefree mind of her 

own and a delicate look in her eye 

These days I'm afraid she's not even sure if her 

name is Veronica 

Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes, 

Veronica has gone to hide? 

And all the time she laughs at those who shout 

her name and steal her clothes

Did the days drag by? Did the favours wane? 

Did he roam down the town all the time? 

Will you wake from your dream, with a wolf at 

the door, reaching out for Veronica 

Well it was all of sixty-five years ago 

When the world was the street where she lived 

And a young man sailed on a ship in the sea 

With a picture of Veronica 

On the "Empress of India" 

And as she closed her eyes upon the world and 

picked upon the bones of last week's news 

She spoke his name outloud again 

Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes, 

Veronica has gone to hide? 

And all the time she laughs at those who shout 

her name and steal her clothes

Veronica sits in her favourite chair and she sits 

very quiet and still 

And they call her a name that they never get 

right and if they don't then nobody else will 

But she used to have a carefree mind of her 

own, with devilish look in her eye 

Saying "You can call me anything you like, but 

my name is Veronica" 

Do you suppose, that waiting hands on eyes, 

Veronica has gone to hide? 

And all the time she laughs at those who shout 

her name and steal her clothes
