ELVIS COSTELLO lyrics : "Glitter Gulch"

Enter Madam X painted in a shocking pink spangled dress
Her teeth are perfect but her mouth is loose
Rubbing their hands together she persuades them that it's better

to confess
Which unpleasant fate they'd like to choose


[Chorus:]
Every step might be your last
Money signs are in your eyes sucker

You've been taken in this time
You might just get out alive if you're lucky
All the vultures tuning in to Glitter Gulch

Are looking in on you
And they're hungry


he stood five feet tall in his elevator shoes and stovepipe
hat
He was known by several different names

Prompted by Madam X he answered all their questions
And then after that he said I'm sick and tired of stupid
games


[Chorus]


We've got prizes if you can afford
Some small humiliation before you get your reward
And I'd rather be an outlaw than an inlaw to you

And to live my life in miserable poverty
Than to have to grovel to have some dream home hovel
So watch me while I get away with prime time robbery


As he enters Madam X he thinks of red raged faces and the sweet
greenbacks

He climbed upon his honey and he covered her with money
As they do their victory dance
He thinks I hope they choke upon their laughter tracks

They can all go straight to hell while we howl down the whole
hotel
