Versurile Elvis Costello - Tokyo Storm Warning
Versuri Tokyo Storm Warning
The sky fell over cheap Korean monster-movie
scenery
And spilled into the mezzanine of the crushed
capsule hotel
Between the Disney abattoir and the chemical
refinery
And I knew I was in trouble but I thought I was
in hell
So you look around the tiny room and you wonder
where the hell you are
While the K.K.K. convention are all stranded in
the bar
They wear hoods and carry shotguns in the main
streets of Montgomery
But they're helpless here as babies 'cause
they're only here on holiday
Chorus: What do we care if the world is a joke
(Tokyo Storm Warning)
We'll give it a big kiss
We'll give it a poke
(Tokyo Storm Warning)
Death wears a big hat 'cause he's a big bloke
(Tokyo Storm Warning)
We're only living this instant
The black sand stuck beneath her feet in a warm
Sorrento sunrise
A barefoot girl from Naples or was it a Barcelona
hi-rise
Whistles out the tuneless theme song on a hundred
cheap suggestions
And a million false seductions and all those
eternal questions
Chorus
So they flew the Super-Constellation all the way
from Rimini
And feasted them on fish and chips from a
newspaper facsimile
Now dead Italian tourists bodies litter up the
Broadway
Some people can't be told you know they have to
learn the hard way
Holidays are dirt-cheap in the Costa del Malvinas
In the Hotel Argentina they can hardly tell
between us
For Teresa is a waitress though she's now known
as Juanita
In a tango bar in Stanley or in Puerto Margarita
She's the sweetest and the sauciest
The loveliest and the naughtiest
She's Miss Buenos Aires in a world of lacy
lingerie
Chorus
Japanese got Jesus robots telling teenage
fortunes
For all we know and all we care they might as
well be Martians
They say gold paint on the palace gates comes
from the teeth of pensioners
They're so tired of shooting protest singers
That they hardly mention us
While fountains fill with second-hand perfume
And sodden trading stamps
They'll hang the bullies and the louts that
dampen down the day
Chorus
We braved the cold November air and the
undertaker's curses
Saying Take me to the Folies Bergere and please
don't spare the hearses
For he always had a dream of that revolver in
your purse
How you loved him 'til you hated him and made him
cry for mercy
He said Don't ever mention my name there or talk
of all the nights you cried
We've always been like worlds apart now you're
seeing two nightmares collide
