Elvis Costello — From a Whisper to a Scream first alternate version

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 Like a finger running down a seam From a whisper to a scream From a whisper to a scream Couldn't be so wrong Please, please don't leave me waiting so long Waiting so long Waiting so long If the customers like it, then they'll keep on paying If they keep on drinking, then they'll end up staying I heard someonе say, "Where have wе met before?" But the one over the eight seems less like one and more like four Like a finger running down a seam From a whisper to a scream From a whisper to a scream Couldn't be so wrong Please, please don't leave me waiting too long Waiting too long Waiting too long Like a finger running down a seam From a whisper to a scream Like a finger running down a seam From a whisper to a scream
