Elvis Costello
Distorted Angel [demo]
[Verse 1]
Strange things seem to occur
Somewhere behind the nursery door
Though I was just a bit of a boy
It was the bit that she was looking for
[Chorus]
Now I don't know where to begin confessing
The way she's making me feel, it can't be a sin
[Verse 2]
I was taught to believe
You were looking down on everyone
And your benevolent face
Is beautiful to gaze upon
[Chorus]
Now I just don't know who to tell to go to hell
Who put the old devil in the distorted angel?
[Bridge]
Distorted angel
Pure illuminated sweetness
Frightening small children
Is just about your only weakness
I thought that you would tell me what I'm living for
But I can't see you anymore
[Verse 2]
I don't know what we did
But I'm sorry if it made you cry
And if there's any justice at all
I'd be punished for it I'd surmise
[Chorus]
It will mark the spot very well where I fell
Under the shadow of the distorted angel
[Outro]
Under the shadow of the distorted angel
Beneath the shadow of the distorted angel
Under the shadow of the distorted angel
Beneath the shadow of the distorted angel
