Dr. Luther's Assistant Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Everything seems so tranquil 

Home movies with no subtitles 

Don't you wish you knew what they were sayin' 

When the film keeps playin', playin'? 

Oh, he's Doctor Luther's assistant 

He'll close in when he seems so distant 

Doctor Luther's assistant 

He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance 

Some say he is just a lackey 

Changing words while the ink is still tacky 

He's absolutely indispensable 

He keeps the other boys in suspense

Oh, he's Doctor Luther's assistant 

He'll close in when he seems so distant 

Doctor Luther's assistant 

He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance 

Luther is locked in a broken-down cinema 

Watches his wife with his video camera 

Sees his best boy makin' her grin 

Out of the kitchen, she's gone with the wind

Oh, Doctor Luther's assistant 

He'll close in, when he seems so distant 

Doctor Luther's assistant 

He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance
