Elvis Costello - Your Mind Is On Vacation Lyrics
I see you laughin'Right in my faceI guess i'm gonna have toPut you in your placeBecause if silence was goldenYou couldn't raise a dimeBecause your mind is on vacationAnd your mouth is working overtimeYou're quoting figuresAnd dropping namesYou're tellin' storiesAbout the damesYou're over-laughin'When things ain't funnyYou're tryin' to soundLike you're the big money, honeyIf talk was criminalYou'd lead a life of crimeBecause your mind is on vacationAnd your mouth is working overtimeLife is short, talk is cheapDon't go makin' promises that you can't keepIf you don't like this little song i'm singin'Just grin and bear itAll i can say is if the rich shoe fits, wear itIf you must keep talkin', please try to make it rhymeBecause your mind is on vacationAnd your mouth is working overtimeWell, i recall when we first metIt was on a friday nightWe spent two lovely hours togetherAnd the world seemed all rightI'm beggin' you, baby, please stop that off-the-wall jive'cause if you don't treat me no betterIt's gonna be your funeral and my trialWell, the lord made the world and everything that's in itThe way my baby loves me, it's a sign that it's it [?]She can love to heal the sick, she can love to raise the deadYou might think that i'm jokin', you better believe what i saidI'm beggin' you, babe, please stop that off-the-wall jiveOh, if you don't treat me no betterIt's gonna be your funeral and my trialI see you laughin'Right in my faceI guess i'm gonna have to put you in your place'cause if talk was criminalYou'd lead a life of crimeBecause your mind is on vacationAnd your mouth is working overtime
