Heathen Town - Elvis Costello (埃尔维斯 科斯特洛)
Written by:Elvis Costello
We used to call it sin city now
It's gone way past that
Painting the town
And then
Burning it down
And even that's old hat
Now there's a choir of angles
And the fall of rome
Singing ave Maria
Or home sweet home
It's just a heathen town
I hear only evil
As my tongue is tightened
I used to be god fearing
Now I'm so frightened
'Cause the devil will drag you under
By the sharp tailfin
Of your checkered cab
Now I can't sit down
I'm going over board
In this heathen town
Starts as an a flirtation
And ends up as an expensive habit
With one eye on her place in debtor's
Prison and the other on a girl
Dressed as a rabbit
Now you can live forever
In your fits and starts
The only stake you cannot raise
Is the one driven through your heart
It's just a heathen town
I hear only evil
As my tongue is tightened
I used to be God fearing
Now I'm so frightened
'Cause the devil
Drag you under
By the sharp tailfin
Of your checkered cab
Now I can't sit down
I'm going over board
In this heathen town
An a flirtation
I'm going over board
In this heathen town
Ave
In this heathen town
In this heathen town
In this heathen town
In this heathen town
Ah ha ha ha ha

Ah ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha
Ah ha ha ha ha
