Elvis Costello - Turning The Town Red текст песни

Youve been taught that this wont do

They put me in the picture but the film turned blue

A glimpse of you, turning the town red.

A head full of brand new words and a mouth full of shocks

Youre a big boy now, with a face to stop clocks.

Turning the town red. (x2)

You made your bed, and now you better dream in it.

The word that you once whispered, now youre screamin it.

Days drip down like bad wallpaper.

Pictures plastered on the ivy creeper between your old toy soldiers

And your mothers sleepers.

Turning the town red. (x2)

You made your bed, you better face the consequence.

A black pool opened at my feet into a dream sequence.

Turning the town red. aah. (x4)

You know I heard her call my name

Least, I think thats what she said.

Surely Im the correlation thats gonna cause her shame

So, whats she doing in my bed?

Turning the town red. aah.

(repeat.)
