I Want To Vanish Lyrics by Elvis Costello

I Want To Vanish Lyrics

    I want to vanish
    This is my fondest wish
    To go where i cannot be captured
    Laid on a decorated dish
    Even in splendor this curious fate
    Is more than i care to surrender
    Now it's too late

    Whether in wonder or indecent haste
    You arrange the mirrors and the spools
    To snare the rare and precious jewels
    That were only made of paste

    If you should stumble upon my last remark
    I'm crying in the wilderness
    I'm trying my best to make it dark
    How can i tell you i'm rarer than most
    I'm certain as a lost dog
    Pondering a sign post

    Chorus

    I want to vanish
    This is my last request
    I've given you the awful truth
    Now give me my rest
