lirik lagu elvis costello - turpentine
i can’t tell if this is real or if i am sleeping
i’ll embroider the truth and that’s so i shall reap
i took things that didn’t belong to me
i didn’t mean to do you wrong
looking back on all that stolen time
back when i was drinking turpentine
don’t blame me, i only took you in
it takes time to do the poisoning
so let’s close the door on this and lock it
and that’s all it will ever be
just an accident of chemistry
you did everything to me but stopped short of murder
couldn’t move me much closer to keeping my word
while the crowds threw stones at the hangman
the sky fell down, the bells rang
looking back on all that stolen time
back when i was drinking turpentine
don’t blame me, i only took you in
it takes time to do the poisoning
so let’s close the door on this and lock it
and that’s all that it will ever be
just an accident of chemistry
airless shaft of an underground railway
effete -ss-ssin with a hawk in a sack
the earth will offer us in when our hearts fail
as it swallows the river running under the track
under the track, yeah
i can’t tell if i’m dreaming or if i’ll awaken
with a song in my heart that is longing to break
let it out and let it fly high
up where the spires scr-pe the sky
looking back on all that stolen time
back when i was drinking turpentine
don’t blame me, i only took you in
it takes time to do the poisoning
so let’s close the door on this and lock it
and that’s all that it will ever be
just an accident of history, yeah
airless shaft of an underground railway
cute -ss-ssin with a hawk in a sack
the earth will offer us in when our hearts fail
swallowed the river running under the track
that’s right
