after the fall
Singer: costello, elvis
in an anonymous rendezvous
where the forbidden lovers repair
they're burning down another damn candle
they're melting the tables and chairs
beneath them applause from the balcony
whenever they accomplished making love
other times they thought they heard laughter
coming from the balcony above
she lies to his right and she carelessly recites
all of her brand new appetites
she seems brittle and small
it don't sound like her at all
since she came back to him after the fall
she said you never visit the countryside"
