martin newell - elizabeth of mayhem lyrics

Loading...

ba ba-ba-ba ba ba-ba-ba-ba ba, ba ba-ba-ba
ba danga-dang-danga dinga-donga-ding blue

elizabeth of mayhem
in the long velvet night
as the lights flash and pop
at the premiere stop on your nowhere agenda
elizabeth of mayhem
your subject, a find i am
like an urchin lying dead from a lack of belief
in your cold-hearted doorway
we climb, we fall
then pay for it all

elizabeth of mayhem
i have walked in your barren land
among scarecrows and madmen and raggedy dogs
to be questioned by soldiers
elizabeth of mayhem
you are one in a field of worm
like a statue who stands in a dead village square
after winter or wartime
we see, we hear
stay silent in fear

elizabeth of mayhem
like a ship gone adrift on sands
with its rigging in shreds and its figurehead peeling
and eaten by a woodworm
elizabeth of mayhem
in the circular world of fame
where the stage will revolve and reveal at the stars
i’m made only of cardboard
we climb, we fall
we pay for it all
