Costello Elvis Next Time Round lyrics

As I stepped out upon the landing my heart was already down the stairs
She`s in the bedroom with that boy of hers
Though her face is creased and her eyes seem strange

There`s a second-hand emotion on battered forty-five
My tears were never enough to keep that girl alive
Now she seems contrite will she make the change

Chorus: The next time `round
The next time `round
You`ll be someone else`s baby
But I`ll be underground
The Next Time `Round

Then you took two steps forward and then one step on your back
Now it`s a future for me and you that I lack
You`ll be the one who`ll stands out in the dark
Even when you`re all dressed in black

Chorus

You`ve got something I want now
And I`ve got someting I can`t hide
I`ve got too much love for you now
Have you got too much pride
Sometimes I name and number all the things you gave to me

Your elastic love, this velvet-line purgatory
You used to take the breath out of me
Now I think you`ll be the death of me

Chorus

You`ll be in some sputnik baby
But I`ll be underground

The Next Time `Round
