Elvis Costello - The Other End Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Shall we agree that just this once
  • I'm gonna change my life
  • Until it's just as tiny or important as you like?
  • And in time we won't even recall that we spoke
  • Words that turned out to be as big as smoke
  • As smoke that disappears in the air
  • There's always something that's smoldering somewhere
  • I know it don't make a difference to you
  • But oh! it sure made a difference to me
  • You'll see me off in the distance, i hope
  • At the other end
  • At the other end of the telescope.
  • The promise of indulgence in my confidential voice
  • Approached immortal danger but you'll never know how close
  • Then down the hall i overheard such a heavenly choir
  • They interrupted my evil designs
  • One day you are up in the clouds
  • The next thing you're down with the sweet adelines
  • (chorus)
  • Lie down baby now don't say a word
  • There there baby your vision is blurred
  • Your head is so sore from all of that thinking
  • I don't want to hurt you now
  • But i think you're shrinking
  • You're half-***** ambition and you're half out of your wits
  • Or several tiny fractions that this portrait still omits
  • And it's so hard to pick the receiver up when i call
  • I never noticed you could be so small
  • The answer was under your nose but the question never arose
  • I know it don't make a difference to you
  • But oh! it sure made a difference to me
  • 'cause late in the evening as i sit here moping
  • With a bamboo needle on a shellac of chopin
  • And the cast-iron heart that you failed to tear open
  • At the other end
  • At the other end of the telescope
