Elvis Costello — Talking in the Dark

[Verse 1] I tried in vain to drive myself insane I talk to myself, but I don't listen I found out what I was missin' [Chorus] I miss talking in the dark Without you, I'm not conversational Without the sense of the occasional Without you, I miss talking in the dark When the barking and the biting is through [Post-Chorus] We can talk like we're in love or talk like we're above it We can talk and talk until we talk ourselves out of it [Keyboard lead] [Verse 2] I look for the news, somebody to abuse I look at myself, but it's so chancy I see things that I don't fancy [Chorus - Outro] I miss talking in the dark Without you, I'm not conversational Without the sense of the occasional Without you, I miss talking in the dark Without you, I miss talking in the dark Without you, I miss talking in the dark Without you, I miss talking in the dark Without you, I miss talking in the dark...
