《Starting To Come To Me》歌词

[00:00:00] Starting To Come To Me - Elvis Costello

[00:00:08] It's started to come to me

[00:00:10] Your new career would probably end like this

[00:00:13] All that professional lipstick pressed into an amateur kiss

[00:00:20] Farewell to the studied lines and carefully broken hearts

[00:00:23] The overpowering perfume and the glimpse of her garter

[00:00:27] Mingling with the sweet smoldering scent of the martyr

[00:00:31] Well it's starting to come to me

[00:00:34] Come to me come to me

[00:00:35] Starting to come to me

[00:00:44] So you began to recognize the well dressed man

[00:00:47] That everybody loves

[00:00:50] It started when you chopped off all the fingers

[00:00:53] Of those pony skin gloves

[00:00:56] Then you cut a hole out where the love light

[00:00:59] Used to shine

[00:01:00] Your tears of pleasure equal measure crocodile and brine

[00:01:04] You try to laugh it off saying I knew all

[00:01:07] The time

[00:01:07] But it's starting to come to me

[00:01:10] Come to me come to me

[00:01:12] Starting to come to me

[00:01:15] Sometimes you bring me down to play reluctant confidant

[00:01:19] You say you may reward him if he gives you

[00:01:22] What you want

[00:01:23] But these are days to treasure and to hold

[00:01:25] They are much too precious to be sold

[00:01:29] You'd probably play the pirate

[00:01:31] If you weren't so busy digging up the gold

[00:01:38] Now you could tell him wanted you 'cause

[00:01:40] You could almost taste it on his breath

[00:01:44] But you always cheated life

[00:01:45] Just like the bold dare devil cheated death

[00:01:49] Incidentally late last night your understudy

[00:01:52] Finally got what you deserve

[00:01:55] In private she's seductive but in public

[00:01:58] She's prim porcelain and nervous

[00:02:01] Afraid someone will recognize the shame in her eyes

[00:02:05] You've still got your dignity or the next best disguise

[00:02:09] You never know when to say no and when to

[00:02:11] Compromise

[00:02:12] But it's starting to come to me

[00:02:15] Come to me come to me

[00:02:17] Starting to come to me

[00:02:19] Come to me come to me

[00:02:21] Starting to come to me
