Dr. Luther's Assistant Lyrics

The song Dr. Luther's Assistant is performed by Elvis Costello .



Everything seems so tranquil
Home movies with no subtitles
Don't you wish you knew what they were sayin'
When the film keeps playin', playin' ?

Oh, he's Doctor Luther's a*sistant
He'll close in when he seems so distant
Doctor Luther's a*sistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance

Some say, '€œHe is just a lackey'€
Changing words while the ink is still tacky
He's absolutely indispensable
He keeps the other boys in suspense

Oh, he's Doctor Luther's a*sistant
He'll close in when he seems so distant
Doctor Luther's a*sistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance

Luther is locked in a broken-down cinema
Watches his wife with his video camera
Sees his best boy makin' her grin
Out of the kitchen, she's gone with the wind

Oh, Doctor Luther's a*sistant
He'll close in, when he seems so distant
Doctor Luther's a*sistant
He'll get on top of you when you lower your resistance
