Glitter Gulch - Elvis Costello[00:00:00]

Written by：Declan MacManus[00:00:01]

Till them to madam X[00:00:06]

Painted in a shocking pink spangled dress[00:00:08]

Her teeth are perfect but her mouth is loose[00:00:12]

Rubbing their hands together she persuades them that[00:00:15]

It's better to confess[00:00:18]

Which unpleasant fate they'd like to choose[00:00:20]

Every step might be your last[00:00:24]

Money signs are in your eyes sucker[00:00:25]

You've been taken in this time[00:00:30]

You might just get out alive if you're lucky[00:00:32]

All the vultures tuning in to glitter Gulch[00:00:37]

Are looking in on you[00:00:40]

And they're[00:00:42]

When he stood five feet tall[00:00:48]

In his elevator shoes and stovepipe hat[00:00:51]

He was known by several different names[00:00:54]

Prompted by madam X he answered all their questions[00:00:58]

And then after that he said[00:01:00]

I'm sick and tired of stupid games[00:01:03]

Every step might be your last[00:01:05]

Money signs are in your eyes sucker[00:01:07]

You've been taken in this time[00:01:12]

You might just get out alive if you're lucky[00:01:14]

All the vultures tuning in to glitter Gulch[00:01:19]

Are looking in on you[00:01:22]

And they're hungry[00:01:24]

We've got prizes if you can afford[00:01:27]

Some small humiliation before you get your reward[00:01:31]

And I'd rather be an outlaw than an in law to you[00:01:34]

And to live my life in miserable poverty[00:01:37]

Than to have to grovel to have some dream home hovel[00:01:41]

So watch me while I get away[00:01:44]

With prime time robbery[00:01:48]

As he enters madam X[00:02:00]

Things of red raged faces and the sweet greenbacks[00:02:01]

He climbed upon his honey and he[00:02:06]

Covered her with money[00:02:08]

As they do their victory dance[00:02:13]

He thinks I hope they choke upon their laughter tracks[00:02:15]

We can all go straight to hell[00:02:20]

While we howl down the whole hotel[00:02:22]

Every step might be your last[00:02:27]

Money signs are in your eyes sucker[00:02:28]

You've been taken in this time[00:02:33]

You might just get out alive if you're lucky[00:02:35]

All the vultures tuning in to glitter gulch[00:02:40]

Are looking in on you[00:02:43]

And they're hungry[00:02:45]

Hungry hungry hungry[00:02:47]
