Elvis Costello - Starting To Come To Me Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Its started to come to me
  • Your new career would probably end like this
  • All that professional lipstick pressed into an amateur kiss
  • Farewell to the studied lines and carefully broken hearts
  • The overpowering perfume and the glimpse of her garter
  • Mingling with the sweet smoldering scent of the martyr
  • Well its starting to come to me (come to me, come to me)
  • Starting to come to me
  • So you began to recognize the well-dressed man that everybody loves
  • It started when you chopped off all the fingers of those pony skin gloves
  • Then you cut a hole out where the lovelight used to shine
  • Your tears of pleasure equal measure crocodile and brine
  • You try to laugh it off saying I knew all the time...
  • But its starting to come to me (come to me, come to me)
  • Starting to come to me
  • Sometimes you bring me down to play reluctant confidant
  • You say you may reward him if he gives you what you want
  • But these are days to treasure and to hold
  • They are much too precious to be sold
  • Youd probably play the pirate if you werent so busy digging up the gold
  • Now you could tell he wanted you cause you almost taste it on his breath
  • But you always cheated life just like the bold dare-devil cheated death
  • Incidentally, late last night your understudy finally got what you deserve
  • In private shes seductive but in public shes prim, porcelain and nervous
  • Afraid someone will recognize the shame in her eyes
  • Youve still got your dignity or the next best disguise
  • You never know when to say no and when to compromise
  • But its starting to come to me (come to me, come to me)
  • Starting to come to me (come to me, come to me)
  • Starting to come to me
