Poison Moon — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Cut loose in a nightmare, cast off in my dreams

If home is anywhere that I can hang my hat

Then its coming apart at the seams

My luck is hanging upside down

I try to hold on tight

But moneys rolling out of town

And love slips right out of sight



And these bones, they dont look so good to me

Jokers talk and they all disagree

One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon



You look in the mirror

Im sorry, but it cant be replaced

Youre thrown straight out in that cruel parade

Buttoned down and laced

It starts like fascination, it ends up like a trance

Youve gotta use your imagination on some of that magazine romance



And these bones--they dont look so good to me

Jokers talk and they all disagree

One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon

One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
