Trouble

A broken window A creaking footstep on the stair A clap of thunder An icy gust blows through your hair A starlit alley The faintest whiff of electricity In the holy city (Trouble!) Trouble with a capital T (Trouble!) Trouble's got the better of me Draped around my shoulders finery (Trouble!) Follows me wherever I go (Trouble!) Trouble is the name of my shadow Slipping underneath the tapestry Spires crumbling Fruit bats tumbling Lovers fumbling A grinding jaw A frantic clawing at the door A twitching nostril A nail protruding from the floor A puff of black smoke A natterjack croak from the splashing reeds A string of red beads (Trouble!) Trouble with a capital T (Trouble!) Trouble's got the better of me Draped around my shoulders' finery (Trouble!) Follows me wherever I go (Trouble!) Trouble is the name of my shadow Dwelling underneath the silvery lake Belfries chiming Stray dogs whining Green eyes shining (Trouble!) Trouble with a capital T (Trouble!) Trouble's got the better of me Draped around my shoulders' finery (Trouble!) Follows me wherever I go (Trouble!) Trouble is the name of my shadow Always a couple of steps ahead of me Drunkards singing Babies clinging Curtains swinging
