Dissolve Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Sugar cube drop into a yellow cup 

What makes the world just waking up 

Revolve? 

Dissolve 

Who knows where on earth it's going to stop? 

I can't hear you 'cos we're breaking up 

Dissolve 

And the stones in the track make work for the mechanic 

The birds all fly from the branches in a panic 

And a back-fire echoes down the hillside 

As the last headline report dies 

Dissolve

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Ice is melting at the distant Pole 

The gin and tonic glasses overflow 

Dissolve 

The precious little else that I could say 

Your stupid tears of laughter washed away 

Dissolve 

While the poisonous light pours from the picture palace 

And it flickers on, tries so hard to be scandalous 

A child keeps beating on a toy drum 

And the tablets dropped on your tongue 

Dissolve

'So salute me in moving frame' 

'I might not be there when you look again' 

The mourning border card behind the clock 

The hour that he passed, unwound and stopped
