less than zero dallas version

Elvis Costello

Jenny takes her clothes off in succession,
While her husband rides a bumper in the President s procession.
She s sees him on the screen as she looks up from giving head.
When he s had enough of that her lover throws her on the bed
to teach her she s alive and suddenly he s dead.
Turn up the TV. No one listening will suspect,
even your mother won t detect it,
no your father won t know.
they think that I ve got no respect
but everything means less than zero.
Hey, ooh hey, hey, ooh hey.

Calling Mister Oswald, calling anyone at the scene,
If you were taking home movies there s a chance you might have seen him.
They ve got a thousand variations, every witness in a file.
Jenny puts on some coffee and she comes back with a smile.
She says, I hear that South America is coming into style.

chorus

A pistol was still smoking, a man lay on the floor.
Mister Oswald thought he had an understanding with the law.
She s got rubies on her fingers, Jenny turns and looks away.
Her mind upon a basement out of the USA.
She says, Let s talk about the future now we ve put the past away.
