Elvis Costello - She's Pulling Out The Pin lyrics

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 Unbu*toning 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 k** 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 gla** 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
