Elvis Costello & The Attractions - From a Whisper to a Scream lyrics

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