Under Lime Elvis Costello & The Imposters

[Verse 1]
It's a long way down from the high horse you're on
When you stumble and then you're thrown
And the last time we saw him he was out in the rain
Watching that train roll down the track
Now he's back in showbiz
Trying to make a comeback

[Verse 2]
We know that he's desperate and we know that he's broke
He's the mystery guest we'll puncture
They told a young girl with a clipboard "Just keep him amused"
Whatever you do, don't tell him your name
Whatever you think, don't let him drink
Under lime, under lime, under lime

[Pre-Chorus]
He whistles out of tune, his words don't always rhyme
"But we will be right back, we're almost out of time"

[Chorus]
Down a long corridor he's trying to impress
He was helpin' a showgirl fasten up her dress
And the clock on the wall tick-tocked the time away
And the band starts to play
