ELVIS COSTELLO - Brilliant Disguise lyrics

rate me

(bruce springsteen)<br>I hold you in my arms<br>There's a band playing<br>What are those words whispered, baby<br>Just as you turn away? <br><br>Well I saw you last night<br>Out on the edge of town<br>I wanna read your mind and know just what I got in this<br>New thing I found<br><br>So tell me what I see<br>When I look into your eyes<br>Is that you, baby<br>Or just a brilliant disguise? <br><br>I heard someone call your name<br>Underneath my willow<br>I saw something tucked in shame<br>Underneath your pillow<br><br>Well I tried so hard, baby<br>But I just can't see<br>What a woman like you<br>Is doing with me<br><br>So tell me who I see<br>When I look into your eyes<br>Is that you, baby<br>Or just a brilliant disguise? <br><br>Now look at me, baby<br>Struggling to do everything right<br>And then it all falls apart<br>When out go the lights<br><br>I'm just a lonely pilgrim<br>I walk this world in wealth<br>I wanna know it's you I don't trust<br>'cause I damn sure don't trust myself<br><br>Now you play the lovin' woman<br>I play the faithful man<br>Just don't look too close<br>Into the palm of my hand<br><br>When we stood at the altar<br>The gypsy swore our future looked right<br>But in the wee, wee hours, maybe baby,<br>The gypsy lied<br><br>So when you look at me<br>You better look hard and look twice<br>Is that me, baby<br>Or just a brilliant disguise? <br><br>Tonight our bed is cold<br>I'm lost in the darkness of our love<br>God have mercy on a man<br>Who doubts what he's sure of
