Distorted Angel — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Strange things seem to occur, somewhere behind the nursery door

Though I was just a bit of a kid, it was the bit that she was looking for

Now I dont know where to begin confessing

The way shes making me feel it cant be a sin



I was taught to believe you were looking down on everyone

And your benevolent face is beautiful to gaze upon

Now I just dont know who to tell to go to hell

Who put the old devil in the distorted angel?



Distorted angel

Pure illuminated sweetness

Frightening small children is just about your only weakness

I thought that you would tell me what Im living for

But I cant see you anymore



I dont know what we did but Im sorry if it made you cry

And if theres any justice at all Id be punished for it Id surmise

It will mark the spot very well where I fell

Under the shadow of the distorted angel

Beneath the shadow of the distorted angel

Below the shadow of the distorted angel

Angel

Beneath the shadow of the distorted angel

Below the shadow of the distorted angel

Angel
