Button My Lip Lyrics - Delivery Man - Elvis Costello

Go, go 

Don't want to talk about the government 

Don't want to talk about some incident 

Don't want to talk about some pe-pe-peppermint gum 

Don't want to talk about the time to come 

Button my lip 

'Til I'm a smart enough 

Don't raise your hand, 'cause I'm not offering 

It serves you right, now you are suffering 

Give me the chance to see it through 

It all depends on what you hold is true

Button my lip 

With your kiss 

Don't want to hear some little sniveling 

You just don't get what I'm delivering 

Maybe you want me, but you know you can't 

I'd say, I want you, but you know I don't 

Button my lip 

'Til I'm old enough 

'Til I'm smart enough, 'til I'm 

Button my lip 

Don't want to come at your beckoning 

For any day they'll be a reckoning 

Don't want to hear what is impossible 

B-b-baby, you've become invisible 

Button my lip

I've seen those clowns, vacant and insolent 

I stand accused, but I am innocent 

I am the mighty and the magnificent 

I am the mighty and the magnificent 

I am the mighty and the magnificent
