5ive Gears In Reverse [demo]
Elvis Costello
GENRE
Five gears in reverse
For girls looking for the big lift
Somebody send out for the night nurse
Please don't stick me on the late shift
If you don't know by now
Nobody's gonna tell you
If you don't know by now
The shock'll probably kill you
But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide
And you're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide
You have no motivation, you can't even catch your breath
All of this acceleration is driving you to death
Five gears in reverse
You say I don't know what I'm doing
Another fashionable first
Like walking down the road to ruin
But if you're safe and sound
Don't let me interrupt you
And if you're gagged and bound
Well, how can I corrupt you?
But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide
And you're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide
You have no motivation, you can't even catch your breath
All this acceleration is driving you to death
Five gears in reverse
Two statues of liberty
But as we go from bad to worse
You say you're trying to get rid of me
And now you feel run down
Between insults and flattery
You'll find yourself in pieces
Wherever they may scatter me
But if your patience is exhausted and you still cannot decide
And you're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide
But you have no motivation, you can't even catch your breath
All of this acceleration is driving you to death
Ow!
