Elvis Costello I Want To Vanish

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
I want to vanish
This is my fondest wish
To go where i cannot be captured
Laid on a decorated dish
Even in splendor this curious fate
Is more than i care to surrender
Now it’s too late

[Chorus]
Whether in wonder or indecent haste
You arrange the mirrors and the spools
To snare the rare and precious jewels
That were only made of paste

[Verse 2]
If you should stumble upon my last remark
I’m crying in the wilderness
I’m trying my best to make it dark
How can i tell you i’m rarer than most
I’m certain as a lost dog
Pondering a sign post

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I want to vanish
This is my last request
I’ve given you the awful truth
Now give me my rest
