Hora Decubitus (Live) Lyrics
Hora Decubitus - 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
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
Think again
Think again
Think again
You can't fight
That you might
Not be smite
If it's wrong
If it's wrong, it's not right
I'll say it once and I'll say it again
Life is a beautiful thing
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
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
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
Life is a beautiful thing
Life is a beautiful thing
