A Voice in the Dark Elvis Costello

[Intro]
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba, ba ba ba

[Verse 1]
You can read right through a book of matches
But that won't make you smart
You can laugh in the face of watches
But time will only break your heart
Kings reign beneath umbrellas
Hide pennies down in cellars
And money pours down and yet
Not everyone gets soaking wet

[Chorus]
When bores and bullies conspire
To stamp out your spark
Listen for a voice in the dark

[Verse 2]
Not a moment too soon as we blue the moon
And a wolf began to howl in tune
I announced for all mankind a boon
Stand aside, you big baboon
Now I'm the prize invention, you're the image of yourself
Forget your cares, your disapproving stares
I'm not here to try to jump your borders
Just ask your nieces and your daughters
