My Lovely Jezebel Songtext

von Elvis Costello

She attracts dark rumors
And travels in blue and other humors
Each time she walks in the room
Brings in much more than you'd assume

Ooh, I looked in her eyes and through that window I fell
She's my lovely Jezebel
She neglects you and then she ransacks you so very well

And she suspects your sweet confection
Know when you talk in contradictions
And then she walks without detection
Overrules all of your objections

Ooh, I looked in her eyes and through that window I fell
She's my lovely Jezebel

A man is miserable ape and a sad pile of sticks
He comes out swinging, gets in a few licks
The longest of drum rolls for the shortest of tricks

And she attracts mad intentions
She distracts all of my attention
With her ways and her wild inventions
The facts of life they forgot to mention

Ooh, I looked in her eyes and through that window I fell
She's my lovely Jezebel
She neglects you and then she ransacks you so very well
