From a Whisper to a Scream Songtext

von Elvis Costello

Oh it's not easy to resist temptation Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination Taking ev'ry word she says just like an open invitation But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation

Chorus: 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 waitin' too long Waitin' too long Waitin' too long Waitin' too long Hey

Oho h oh oh oh

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 seem less like one or more like four

Chorus
