Elvis Costello — From a Whisper to a Scream

[Verse 1: Elvis Costello, Glen Tilbrook] Oh it's not easy to resist temptation Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination Taking every word she says just like an open invitation But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation [Chorus: Elvis Costello, Glen Tilbrook, Both] Like a finger running down a seam From a whisper to a scream So I whisper and I scream But don't get me wrong Please don't leave me waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Hey Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [Verse 2: Elvis Costello, Glen Tilbrook] Oh if the customers like it then they'll keep on paying If they keep on drinking then they'll end up staying I heard someone say where have we met before But the one over the eight seems less like one or more like four [Chorus: Elvis Costello, Glen Tilbrook, Both] Like a finger running down a seam From a whisper to a scream So I whisper and I scream But don't get me wrong Please don't leave me waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Hey Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
