ELVIS COSTELLO - Dissolve lyrics

rate me

Sugar cube drop into a yellow cup

What makes the world just waking up

Resolve?

Dissolve

Who knows where on earth it's going to stop?

I can't hear you 'cos we're breaking up

Dissolve

And the stones in the track make work for the mechanic

The birds all fly from the branches in a panic

And a back-fire echoes down the hillside

As the last headline report dies

Dissolve

Ice is melting at the distant Pole

The gin and tonic glasses overflow

Dissolve

The precious little else that I could say

Yor stupid tears of laughter washed away

Dissolve

While the poisonous light pours from the picture palace

And it flickers on, tries so hard to be scandalous

A child keeps beating on a toy drum

And the tablets dropped on your tongue

Dissolve

"So salute me in moving frame"

"I might not be there when you look again"

The mourning border card behind the clock

The hour that he passed, unwound and stopped

Dissolve
