Lyrics Elvis Costello – The Unfailing Welcome To The Voice
Text:
Above the tears
Before the scream
Invisible and secret scar
The true salvation is the human voice
Beloved voices of the past
The forever stiffled voice
Tender echoes
Lost cause
Miserable voice
Whispering voice
Incantations
Immaterial instrument
Attentive mothers
Darkness lighting lullabies
Stare of silence
Cruel disease
The __ gag of hate
Unfailing welcome to the voice
Be welcome
Attractive red fruit of the mouth
Dangerous message on my skin
I feel so fluid
Lighter than air
Shy caress
A fleeting bride’s veil on the throat
Forbidden kisses to drink
__ siren
Virtuous sound
Vocal pleasure
Pleasure vocal
It’s the real way to be drunk
To desert the common place
Sacred (bluesy prophet?)
I’m a slave to the voice
Unfailing welcome to the voice
In every tone a poignant oath
Voices to pray to fly to escape
harmonized
The sublimation of the hopes
The sublimation of the hopes
Spiritual vehicle of thought
The voice (is boundless?)
I love the voice
