Elvis Costello - Poison Moon lyrics

Cut loose in a nightmare, cast off in my dreams

If home is anywhere that I can hang my hat

Then it's coming apart at the seams

My luck is hanging upside down

I try to hold on tight

But money's rolling out of town

And love slips right out of sight

And these bones, they don't look so good to me

Jokers talk and they all disagree

One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon

You look in the mirror

I'm sorry, but it can't be replaced

You're thrown straight out in that cruel parade

Buttoned down and laced

It starts like fascination, it ends up like a trance

You've gotta use your imagination on some of that magazine romance

And these bones--they don't look so good to me

Jokers talk and they all disagree

One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon

One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
