Less Than Zero (Dallas Version) — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

Jenny takes her clothes off in succession,
While her husband rides a bumper in the President`s procession.
She`s sees him on the screen as she looks up from giving head.
When he`s had enough of that her lover throws her on the bed
to teach her she`s alive and suddenly he`s dead.
Turn up the TV. No one listening will suspect,
even your mother won`t detect it,
no your father won`t know.
they think that I`ve got no respect
but everything means less than zero.
Hey, ooh hey, hey, ooh hey.

Calling Mister Oswald, calling anyone at the scene,
If you were taking home movies there`s a chance you might have seen him.
They`ve got a thousand variations, every witness in a file.
Jenny puts on some coffee and she comes back with a smile.
She says, "I hear that South America is coming into style."

chorus

A pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor.
Mister Oswald thought he had an understanding with the law.
She`s got rubies on her fingers, Jenny turns and looks away.
Her mind upon a basement out of the USA.
She says, "Let`s talk about the future now we`ve put the past away."
