Imagination is A Powerful Deceiver Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Imagination is A Powerful Deceiver Lyrics

    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 you 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
