My Science Fiction Twin Lyrics by Elvis Costello

My Science Fiction Twin Lyrics

    My science fiction twin
    Is doing better than expected
    He captured a little blonde trophy wife
    Who's really very well connected
    And when he calls home with his alibi
    She says "is this really necessary?"
    But she knows that a man can't be a man
    Unless he's punishing his secretary
    He sips in the glow of a '61 vintage
    Just as the day is dimming
    With every intention of surrendering
    To fifty-foot women
    Who put the fascination back into my science fiction twin

    My science fiction twin
    Decided to become invisible
    He has my eyes, my face, my voice
    But he's only happy when i'm miserable
    The words flew from his mouth
    And they were gently gathered by reporters
    Trying to frame his once infamous flame
    With tattered pictures of her daughter
    Her hair is all made out of porcupine
    Her figure is fantastic
    But as you know, they corrupted her
    So they're being sarcastic
    Who put the fascination back into my science fiction twin

    He'll scream and shout
    Everything is working out just as he predicted
    Pride and position in the gallery of attempted people
    Oh and the pain is so sweet
    Better stamp his little feet
    And you'll even have time to pity me
    How can you feel content?
    You wonder where this fellow went

    My science fiction twin
    Escorted by his lovely nieces
    Filled up his purse dictating verse
    While painting masterpieces
    His almost universal excellence
    Is starting to disturb me
    They asked how in the world he does all these things
    And he answered "superbly"
    He's trapped in his own parallel dimension
    That's why i'm so forgiving
    But how could i possibly forget to mention those fifty-foot women
    Who put the fascination back into my science fiction twin

    My science fiction twin [4x]
