Elvis Costello And The Roots - Wise Up Ghost Lyrics

Lyrics Wise Up Ghost - Elvis Costello , The Roots



Last lions roar before they′re tamed
I stood out in the glorious reign
Knowing full well I can't go home again
Wise Up
When are you going to rise up?
Yield some sighs up
Go on your merry way now if you must
Fool′s Gold turns rivets into rust
'Til you don't know who to trust
Wise Up
When are you going to rise up?
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost)
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
Old woman living in a cardboard shoe
Lost so many souls, she don′t know what to do
So, say your prayers ′cos down the stairs it's 1932
She revolves around a sparkling pole
Stares into the mirrored wall
Sees another woman walking through a market stall
(She′s pulling out the pin)
(She's pulling out the pin)
Wise Up
When are you going to rise up?
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost)
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
Lost girl found on the radio
Down around Larado
Go direct to hell you murdering so-and-so
Trapped within a House of Feathers
Sitting in a Shirt of Wire
Howling at a Wall of Flowers
Saying "Wise Up Ghost"
Wise Up
When are you going to rise up?
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost)
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
I walked along an iron pier
Where Rose′s kisses turned to tears
Saltwater rushing over the pebbles under there
Last sigh of passion
Slipped into the room like an assassin
Glad tidings we bring
For you and your King
Wise Up
When are you going to rise up?
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost)
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost)
Last lions roar before they're tamed
I stood out in the glorious reign
Knowing full well I can′t go home again
Wise Up
When are you going to rise up?
Yield some sighs up
(She's pulling out the pin)
(She's pulling out the pin)
(She′s pulling out the pin)
(She′s pulling out the pin)
(She's pulling out the pin)
(She′s pulling out the pin)
(She's pulling out the pin)
(She′s pulling out the pin)
(She's pulling out the pin)
