A broken window
A creaking footstep on the stair
A clap of thunder
An icy gust blows through your hair
A starlit alley
The faintest whiff of electricity
In the holy city

Trouble!
Trouble with a capital T
Trouble!
Trouble's got the better of me
Draped around my shoulders finery

Trouble!
Follows me wherever I go
Trouble!
Trouble is the name of my shadow
Slipping underneath the tapestry

Spires crumbling
Fruit bats tumbling
Lovers fumbling

A grinding jaw
A frantic clawing at the door
A twitching nostril
A nail protruding from the floor
A puff of black smoke
A natterjack croak from the splashing reeds
A string of red beads

Trouble!
Trouble with a capital T
Trouble!
Trouble’s got the better of me
Draped around my shoulders' finery

Trouble!
Follows me wherever I go
Trouble!
Trouble is the name of my shadow
Dwelling underneath the silvery lake

Belfries chiming
Stray dogs whining
Green eyes shining

Trouble!
Trouble with a capital T
Trouble!
Trouble's got the better of me
Draped around my shoulders’ finery

Trouble!
Follows me wherever I go
Trouble!
Trouble is the name of my shadow
Always a couple of steps ahead of me

Drunkards singing
Babies clinging
Curtains swinging
