Brilliant Disguise – Elvis CostelloBy I hold you in my armsThere’s a band playingWhat are those words whispered, babyJust as you turn away?Well I saw you last nightOut on the edge of townI wanna read your mind and know just what I got in thisNew thing I foundSo tell me what I seeWhen I look into your eyesIs that you, babyOr just a brilliant disguise?I heard someone call your nameUnderneath my willowI saw something tucked in shameUnderneath your pillowWell I tried so hard, babyBut I just can’t seeWhat a woman like youIs doing with meSo tell me who I seeWhen I look into your eyesIs that you, babyOr just a brilliant disguise?Now look at me, babyStruggling to do everything rightAnd then it all falls apartWhen out go the lightsI’m just a lonely pilgrimI walk this world in wealthI wanna know it’s you I don’t trust‘Cause I damn sure don’t trust myselfNow you play the lovin’ womanI play the faithful manJust don’t look too closeInto the palm of my handWhen we stood at the altarThe gypsy swore our future looked rightBut in the wee, wee hours, maybe baby,The gypsy liedSo when you look at meYou better look hard and look twiceIs that me, babyOr just a brilliant disguise?Tonight our bed is coldI’m lost in the darkness of our loveGod have mercy on a manWho doubts what he’s sure of www.pillowlyrics.com419786497975 88k 20
