Elvis Costello and The Roots все тексты (слова) песен, переводы, видео, клипы

I stood at the kerb trying not to disturb
The dark carnival crew and a glittering voice
Far off there said, "Rejoice"
"As the casualties are but few"
Going to tell you now
Before I forget myself
I could let you loose
But the key won't undo the lock

I've got this phosphorescent portrait of gentle Jesus meek and mild

I've got this harlot that I'm stuck with carrying another man's child

The solitary star announcing vacancy burnt out as we arrived

They'd throw us back across the border if they knew that we survived
And they were surprised to see us

So they greeted us with palms

They asked for ammunition, acts of contrition and small alms
Wake me up, wake me up, wake me up, wake me up, wake me up

Will you walk us uptown

And wherever you go, you know we will follow
Will you walk us uptown
And we'll stand in the light of your new killing ground and we won't make a sound
Except to sing our sorrow

Will you walk us uptown

Last lions roar before they're tamed
I stood out in the glorious reign
Knowing full well I can't go home again
Wise Up Ghost
Wise Up
When are you going to rise up?
Wise Up Ghost
Yield some sighs up
