if i could believe

Singer:costello, elvis

if i could believe two and two is five

two wrongs make a right

well then

man alive

lost in my insolence and sneers

that might sound like prayers

if i could believe

if i could believe

you were from heaven sent

then just losing you

would be my punishment

but in the hour of disgrace

i might see his face

if i could believe

if i could believe

then i know i might

sleep all through the night

but how many times must i wake in fright

nagging doubts still tugging on my sleeve

if i could believe two and two is five

two wrongs make a right

well then

man alive

lost in my insolence and sneers

that might sound like prayers

if i could believe

if i could believe
