Elvis Costello — Imagination Is A Powerful Deceiver

So you're trying to make connection You heard whispers in the hall She'll be out again this evening When you come around to call So, you dodge the lady killer Who came creepin' 'cross the floor Then you caught up in a whirlwind You got blown right out the door Oh yes, it was a whirlwind Sweet romance was on your side If you wanna dance on my face You must tell me why you lied Imagination is a powerful deceiver When you try to believe her just a little too much Imagination is a powerful deceiver I'll go out of my mind if I'm losing your touch I see the look of recognition So well hidden in your eye And your peep-show regulations They just don't seem to apply Did I see you in the circus In the ring without a hand? Now you think that you can curse us Steal the show and stop the band Oh, you can follow your dreams Oh, but please don't lead me on If you wanna bleed in my face You were here, and now you're gone Imagination is a powerful deceiver When you try to believe her just a little too much Imagination is a powerful deceiver I'll go out of my mind if I'm losing your touch I'll go out of my mind if I'm losing your touch I'll go out of my mind If I'm losing your touch (At last!)
