Elvis Costello - Glitter Gulch lyrics

Your rating:

Enter Madam X painted in a shocking pink spangled dress

Her teeth are perfect but her mouth is loose

Rubbing their hands together she persuades them that it's better to confess

Which unpleasant fate they'd like to choose



(chorus)

Every step might be your last

Money signs are in your eyes sucker

You've been taken in this time

You might just get out alive if you're lucky

All the vultures tuning in to Glitter Gulch

Are looking in on you

And they're hungry



he stood five feet tall in his elevator shoes and stovepipe hat

He was known by several different names

Prompted by Madam X he answered all their questions

And then after that he said I'm sick and tired of stupid games



(chorus)



We've got prizes if you can afford

Some small humiliation before you get your reward

And I'd rather be an outlaw than an inlaw to you

And to live my life in miserable poverty

Than to have to grovel to have some dream home hovel

So watch me while I get away with prime time robbery



As he enters Madam X he things of red raged faces and the sweet greenbacks

He climbed upon his honey and he covered her with money

As they do their victory dance

He thinks I hope they choke upon their laughter tracks

They can all go straight to hell while we howl down the whole hotel
