Its Time Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Its Time Lyrics

    The party's over
    Your time is up
    You've had your last pointless teardrop
    Washed down in that broken coffee cup
    This magic moment concludes when that cigarette ends
    Did you get what you wanted?
    Well i suppose that depends
    Well i suppose that depends

    If you go, if you go
    Where passion is squandered and money is spent
    It's time, it's time
    It's time, it's time
    It's time, it's time, it's time
    You must see it's time that you went
    You must see it's time that you went

    Our brief acquaintance was such a mistake
    Now it seems more like a sentence
    Or something you always had to fake
    This magic moment concludes when they turn out the light
    It's not the days when you leave me
    But all i fear are the nights
    But all i fear are the nights

    Chorus

    You told the same joke to me too many times
    I wish that someone would hit it
    Just before you reach
    Just before you reach
    Just before you reach the punchline

    The party's over
    Time we broke up
    It always seemed like a bad dream
    One where i finally woke up
    This magic moment concluding our mutual fate
    But if you do have to leave me
    Who will i have left to hate?
    Who will i have left to hate?

    Chorus
