Its Time — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

The partys over

Your time is up

Youve had your last pointless teardrop

Washed down in that broken coffee cup

This magic moment concludes when that cigarette ends

Did you get what you wanted?

Well I suppose that depends

Well I suppose that depends



If you go, if you go

Where passion is squandered and money is spent

Its time, its time

Its time, its time

Its time, its time, its time

You must see its time that you went

You must see its time that you went



Our brief acquaintance was such a mistake

Now it seems more like a sentence

Or something you always had to fake

This magic moment concludes when they turn out the light

Its not the days when you leave me

But all I fear are the nights

But all I fear are the nights



Chorus



You told the same joke to me too many times

I wish that someone would hit it

Just before you reach

Just before you reach

Just before you reach the punchline



The partys over

Time we broke up

It always seemed like a bad dream

One where I finally woke up

This magic moment concluding our mutual fate

But if you do have to leave me

Who will I have left to hate?

Who will I have left to hate?



Chorus
