From A Whisper To A Scream Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Oh it's not easy to resist temptation 

Walking around looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination 

Taking ev'ry word she says just like an open invitation 

But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation 

Like a finger running down a seam 

From a whisper to a scream 

So I whisper and I scream 

But don't get me wrong 

Please don't leave me waitin' too long 

Waitin' too long 

Waitin' too long 

Waitin' too long 

Hey

Oh oh oh oh oh 

Oh if the customers like it then they'll keep on paying 

If they keep on drinking then they'll end up staying 

I heard someone say where have we met before 

But the one over the eight seem less like one or more like four 

Photos 

Like a finger running down a seam 

From a whisper to a scream 

So I whisper and I scream 

But don't get me wrong 

Please don't leave me waitin' too long 

Waitin' too long
