Elvis Costello - Episode Of Blonde Songtext
I spy for the "Spirit of Curiousity"
All the scandals of each vain monstrosity
I gossip and I pry and I insinuate
If the failure is great
Then it tends to fascinate
A tornado dropped a funnel cloud with twenty tons of
rain
Though she had the attention span of warm cellophane
Her lovers fell like skittles in a 10-pin bowling lane
But nothing could compare with that explosion of fame
So you jumped back with alarm
Every Elvis has his army
Every rattlesnake its charm
Can you still hear me?
Am I coming through just fine?
Your memory was buried in a simple box of pine
Did her green eyes seduce you and make you get so
weak?
Was there fire engine red that she left upon your
cheek?
It's such a shame you had to break the heart
You could have counted onbut the last thing you need
is another
...Episode of blonde
Revolving like a jeweller's figure on a music box
Spangled curtain parted and a night-club scene unlocks
Pinned and fixed and fastened in a follow spot
Arms thrown out to everyone, she's giving all she's
got
To the last gasp of a wounded bandeon
Tiny man imploring to the cieling fan
This stolen feeling
Amplified up through a busted speaker
Blaring, blasting, advertising, distorted beyond
reason
Into the street where petty crime-coats shadow panic
drunkards,
Half out of the taxi cab the barker seized my elbow
He thought I was another lonely, likely pilgrim
looking for St.Telmo
Repeat chorus
I tried to keep a straight face but you know it never
pays
He would stare into those eyes and then vacation in
her gaze
She was a cute little ruin that he pulled out of the
rubble
Noe they are both living in a soft soap bubble
The film producer's contemplating, entertaining
suicide
The picture crumpled in his fist, his runaway child
bride
The timepiece stretched across a wrist
She couldn't care less cast aside
The scent that so repelled him that he swore:
"insecticide"
And there's a farewell note to mother
That will conclude "Your loving Son"
"Oh, tell your other children not to do as I have
done."
Chorus
So an artist drags a toothbrush across the first thing
that he sees
And names the painting "Christ's Last Exit into
Purgatory"
Receiving secret messages from an alien intelligence
Paying off his stalker it's a legitimate expense
So paste up pictures of those shrill and hollow girls
With puckered lips
She's a trophy on your arm
A magnet for your money clip
The moral of this story is the sorry tale to say
They're pieced with links of chains so they can never
run away
