The Other End Of The Telescope - Elvis Costello[00:00:01]

Shall we agree that just this once[00:00:04]

I'm gonna change my life[00:00:09]

Until it's just as tiny or important as you like [00:00:13]

And in time we won't even recall that we spoke[00:00:21]

Words that turned out to be as big as smoke[00:00:28]

As smoke that disappears in the air[00:00:31]

There's always something that's smoldering somewhere[00:00:35]

I know it don't make a difference to you[00:00:39]

But oh It sure made a difference to me[00:00:43]

You'll see me off in the distance I hope[00:00:47]

At the other end[00:00:52]

At the other end of the telescope [00:00:56]

The promise of indulgence in my confidential voice[00:01:05]

Approached immortal danger but you'll never know how close[00:01:14]

Then down the hall I overheard such a heavenly choir[00:01:22]

They interrupted my evil designs[00:01:28]

One day you are up in the clouds[00:01:32]

The next thing you're down with the Sweet Adelines[00:01:36]

I know it don't make a difference to you[00:01:40]

But oh It sure made a difference to me[00:01:44]

You'll see me off in the distance I hope[00:01:48]

At the other end[00:01:52]

At the other end of the telescope [00:01:57]

Lie down baby now don't say a word[00:02:06]

There there baby your vision is blurred[00:02:10]

Your head is so sore from all of that thinking[00:02:14]

I don't want to hurt you now[00:02:19]

But I think you're shrinking[00:02:22]

You're half-naked ambition and you're half out of your wits[00:02:28]

Or several tiny fractions that this portrait still omits[00:02:37]

And it's so hard to pick the receiver up when I call[00:02:44]

I never noticed you could be so small[00:02:50]

The answer was under your nose but the question never arose[00:02:54]

I know it don't make a difference to you[00:03:01]

But oh It sure made a difference to me[00:03:06]

'Cause late in the evening as I sit here moping[00:03:10]

With a bamboo needle on a shellac of Chopin[00:03:14]

And the cast-iron heart that you failed to tear open[00:03:18]

At the other end[00:03:26]

At the other end of the telescope[00:03:30]
