ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "She's Pulling Out The Pin"

She's pulling out the pin
That lets her hair fall down
She shakes her head and

It goes tumbling
Her smile was out of place
So she swept it off her face


Let me find the words and say them
Like some softly whispered Amen


As she starts to pull away
And the lights begin to dim

Is she thinking of me
Or is she thinking of him
She's pulling out the pin


She's slipping off the hook
Unbuttoning her dress

There's just enough to make some man a mess
She tears away the veil
With her fingernails


She came out high and kicking
While the band played "Hey good lookin'"

Do you hear something ticking?

Did somebody tell her?

You can really be redeemed
Could she actually be?
As desperate as she seems

She's tearing at the seams
She's going to extremes
Nobody told her it was a sin

So she's pulling out the pin

She's taping up her hands

Just as a boxer will
They started laughing
But if looks could kill

She'd take them down right now
She's covering her mouth
With someone or without

There's nothing more to say
This is her wedding day


Full of shattered glass and mayhem
Not one softly whispered amen


She's knocking down some doors
And the smoke begins to fill
Where the world without her ends

And the next one begins
She's pulling out the pin
