Imagination (Is A Powerful Deceiver) — текст песни (Elvis Costello)

So you`re trying to make connection, you heard whispers in the hall
She`ll be out again this evening, when you come around to call
So, you dodge the lady-killer, who came creepin` `cross the floor
Then you caught up in a whirlwind, you got blown right out the door

Oh, yes, it was a whirlwind, sweet romance was on your side
If you wanna dance on my face, you must tell me why ya` lied

Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I`ll go out of my mind, if I`m losing your touch

I see a look of recognition, so well hidden in your eye
And your peepshow regulations, they just don`t seem to apply,
Well, did I see you in the circus, in the ring without a hand
Now you think that you can curse us, steal the show and stop the band

Oh, you can follow your dreams, oh but please don`t lead me on,
If you wanna bleed in my face, you were here and now you`re gone

Imagination is a powerful deceiver
When you try to believe her just a little too much
Imagination is a powerful deceiver
I`ll go out of my mind, if I`m losing your touch
I`ll go out of my mind, if I`m losing your touch
I`ll go out of my mind, if I`m losing your touch
