Elvis Costello - Go Away Lyrics
Are we rolling?One, two, one, two, three, fourHere in my little spy movieWith my garter and daggerAnd my gag and my cuffAnd my gunslinger swaggerYou used to be my hand-painted villainYou used to be so thrillingIt's a switch that you're flickingA fuse you're always trippingA button that you're pressingA number that you're pushingYou're always delayingDenyingAnd betrayingWhy don't you come back, baby?Why don't you go away?Go Away, Go AwayWhy don't you go away?Why don't you come back, baby?Why don't you go away?Budapest intrigueThree hours of black and whiteSquinting at subtitlesThrough a telescopic sightHungarian melodyRepeating endlesslyIs this the end I see?Approaching in front of meA switch that you're flickingA fuse you're always trippingA button that you're pressingA number that you're pushingYou're always delayingDenyingOr betrayingWhy don't you come back, baby?Why don't you go away?Go Away, Go AwayWhy don't you go away?Why don't you come back, baby?Why don't you go away?In this hysterical epicSecret passage of the palacePowder from a hollow ringInto the poisonous chaliceUnfrocked fondlerIn a half moonlit gondolaPampered hog in a ringlet wigGamboled a merry jigYou're always pursuingBut she won't need possessingJust undoing and undressingPlease don't stop confessingYou're always delayingDenyingOr betrayingWhy don't you come back, baby?Why don't you go away?Go Away, Go AwayWhy don't you go away?Why don't you come back, baby?Why don't you go away?In my mystery caperAs I lower my lampOn a fey little gunselWho dreamed of drilling that vampI'm walking the shadeOf this silent paradeWith my pepper and maceAnd my heartbroken faceRainy railway stationDrowns out a tearful partingLast canister rollingOn our little melodramaIs a one-horse operaA screwball comedyMistaken identityWell, who do you want to be?A switch that you're flickingA fuse you're always trippingA button that you're pressingA number that you're pushingYou're always delayingDenyingOr betrayingWhy don't you come back, baby?Why don't you go away?Go Away, Go AwayWhy don't you go away?Why don't you come back, baby?Why don't you go away?Hey heyWhy don't youGo awayWhy don't you go away?
