lirik lagu heathen town – elvis costello
they used to call it sin city
now it’s gone way past that
painting the town
and then burning it down
now even that’s old hat
now there’s a choir of angels
at the fall of rome
singing “ave maria”
or “home sweet home”
it’s just a heathen town
i hear only evil
as my tongue is tightened
i used to be god-fearing
now i’m so frightened
’cause the devil will drag you under
by the sharp tailfin
of your checkered cab
and i can’t sit down,
i’m going overboard
in this heathen town
it starts as a flirtation
and ends up as an expensive habit
with one eye on her place
in debtor’s prison
and the other on a girl
dressed as a rabbit.
now you can live forever
endure fits and starts
the only stake you cannot raise
is the one driven through your heart
it’s just a heathen town
i hear only evil
as my tongue is tightened.
i used to be god-fearing
now i’m so frightened
’cause the devil will drag you under
by the sharp tailfin
of your checkered cab
and i can’t sit down,
i’m going overboard
in this heathen town
