X-Files Songs In The Key Of X movie - My Dark Life lyrics
rate meSong by Elvis Costello<br /><br>
She says nobody wants to believe, <br>
you're the same as everyone. <br>
What makes me unique? <br>
<br>
My Dark Life. <br>
<br>
There was a kink in the world, <br>
sent that statue tumbling, <br>
an invitation east. <br>
So we could watch it all crumbling. <br>
<br>
She came on, like a light, <br>
and so softly she spoke. <br>
"You don't, you don't know about, <br>
my dark life". <br>
<br>
And you think, you're a guest, <br>
you're a tourist at best. <br>
Peering into the corners of <br>
My dark life. <br>
<br>
Now that you tear your dreams, <br>
from consulted ballerinas. <br>
She'll stand on tiptoe for you, <br>
in her gray and tattered tutu. <br>
<br>
She stays where she is, <br>
'cause of voyeurs like these, <br>
with an accusative look that says, <br>
"My dark life". <br>
<br>
Robber men await you there, <br>
each beguiling alley, <br>
To shake you and to pierce you, <br>
and remind you of, <br>
my dark life. <br>
<br>
Into the pie easily, <br>
in their preening finery, <br>
and bang the tambourine. <br>
They're dining on rice paper scenery. <br>
<br>
See how the villain attracts, <br>
envious glances from everyone. <br>
She's waitressing by day. <br>
It doesn't bring in much money now. <br>
<br>
And the strong concealed arms, <br>
set off bells and alarms, <br>
in the strangest of locations of <br>
my dark life. <br>
<br>
But the fantasy slipped, <br>
as he tipped her in cigarettes. <br>
She tries to smile very graciously, <br>
when she wants to kill him. <br>
<br>
Now the victory is sweet, <br>
you get down on your knees. <br>
It's the perfect position for <br>
Kissing west and other. <br>
<br>
So they came from ugly Texas, <br>
and from nameless Tennessee. <br>
From peculiar Missouri, <br>
and from places closer to me. <br>
<br>
All the green of hauntless sinners, <br>
chig the carnival is over. <br>
The remnants of an army bands played <br>
America, the beautiful.<br>
<br>
