Dont Be Careless Love — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

(mccartney/macmanus)

Burn the midnight lamp

Down until the dawn

Ill keep watch

Until Im sure youre coming home

Shadows play

And flicker on the bedroom wall

They turn into a bad dream overnight

Something could be terribly wrong



Dont be careless love

Dont be careless love

Dont be, dont be careless



In my dream youre running nowhere

Every step youve taken turns to glue

Walking down a spiral staircase

Failing through, failing through

Dont be careless love

Be careless love



The lamp burns down and out

Im getting pretty tired of this

I feel so bad

Something might be going amiss

I wont be there

So look out for yourself

Youre getting in deep whatever you do

Dont let me go back to sleep



Dont be careless love

Dont be careless love

Dont be, dont be careless



Saw your face in the morning paper

Saw your body rolled up in a rug

Chopped up into two little pieces

By some thug



Dont be careless love

Be careless love



But in the morning light

When I wake up again

Youre by my side

And thats the way its always been

But in the dark

Your mind plays funny tricks on you

Your mind plays funny tricks on you

Your mind plays funny tricks on you



Dont be careless love
