Elvis Costello — Dont Be Careless Love

[Verse 1] Burn the midnight lamp Down until the dawn I'll keep watch Until I'm sure you're coming home Shadows play And flicker on the bedroom wall They turn into a bad dream overnight Something could be terribly wrong [Chorus] Don't be careless love[x2] Don't be, don't be careless [Verse 2] In my dream you're running nowhere Every step you've taken turns to glue Walking down a spiral staircase Failing through, failing through Don't be careless love Be careless love The lamp burns down and out I'm getting pretty tired of this I feel so bad Something might be going amiss I won't be there So look out for yourself You're getting in deep whatever you do Don't let me go back to sleep [Chorus] [Verse 3] Saw your face in the morning paper Saw your body rolled up in a rug Chopped up into two little pieces By some thug [Chorus] Don't be careless love Be careless love [Verse 4] But in the morning light When I wake up again You're by my side And that's the way it's always been But in the dark Your mind plays funny tricks on you[x3] [Outro] Don't be careless love
