Lyrics for Glitter Gulch by Elvis Costello:
| | | Artist: | Elvis Costello |
| | Album: | King Of America | | Track: | Glitter Gulch | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 72 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 aford
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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
