From a Whisper to a Scream Elvis Costello

[Verse 1: Elvis Costello, Glen Tilbrook]
Oh it's not easy to resist temptation
Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination
Taking every word she says just like an open invitation
But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation

[Chorus: Elvis Costello, Glen Tilbrook, Both]
Like a finger running down a seam
From a whisper to a scream
So I whisper and I scream
But don't get me wrong
Please don't leave me waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long
Hey
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Verse 2: Elvis Costello, Glen Tilbrook]
Oh if the customers like it then they'll keep on paying
If they keep on drinking then they'll end up staying
I heard someone say where have we met before
But the one over the eight seems less like one or more like four

[Chorus: Elvis Costello, Glen Tilbrook, Both]
Like a finger running down a seam
From a whisper to a scream
So I whisper and I scream
But don't get me wrong
Please don't leave me waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long

Waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long

Hey
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
