Inch By Inch Lyrics - Goodbye Cruel World - Elvis Costello

You can take a powder 

You can take a drink 

You can keep the shrink 

And the kitchen sink 

Write my name in heaven 

in invisible ink 

I just woke up from dreaming, I think 

You can take me over 

You can give me a lip 

You can take me under 

You can give me the slip 

Take off everything or tear me off a strip 

Like a lady in the chamber 

and another in the clip

Chorus 

Don't move a muscle baby 

Don't even flinch 

You can miss me by a mile 

Or just inch by inch 

Inch by inch 

Inch by inch 

Inch by inch 

You can pull me up again 

Inch by inch 

Inch by inch 

As pulses race 

I long to see that look upon your face 

Photos 

You can take me outside 

You can take me apart 

You can take me upstairs 

you can take me to heart 

You made me love you when 

you thought you were so smart 

Don't try to stop me when 

you told me to start 

Chorus
