Elvis Costello & The Imposters
Dissolve
[Verse 1]
Sugar cube drop into a yellow cup
What makes the world just waking up
Revolve?
Dissolve
Who knows where on earth it's going to stop?
I can't hear you 'cause we're breaking up
Dissolve
Dissolve
And the stones in the track make work for the mechanic
And the birds all fly from the branches in a panic
And a backfire echoes down the hillside
As the last headline report dies
Dissolve
Dissolve
[Verse 2]
Ice is melting at the distant Pole
The gin and tonic glasses overflow
Dissolve
Dissolve
The precious little else that I could say
Your stupid tears of laughter washed away
Dissolve
Dissolve
While the poisonous light pours from the picture palace
And it flickers on, tries so hard to be scandalous
A child keeps beating on a toy drum
And the tablets dropped on your tongue
Dissolve
Dissolve
Dissolve
Dissolve
[Outro]
(Dissolve) "So salute me in a moving frame"
(Dissolve) "I might not be there when you look again"
(Dissolve) The mourning border card behind the clock
(Dissolve) The hour that he passed, unwound and stopped
Dissolve
