Put Away Forbidden Playthings Lyrics - Elvis Costello

Put away forbidden playthings 

Amusements and distractions 

And dismantle the contraption and carry it away 

In time as beauty dissolves into glamor 

It slips from your heart and falls under the hammer 

Put away forbidden playthings 

Put away forbidden playthings 

And never return to pluck out that jewel 

Or find the thrill that lingers still 

While suffering the dream of disobeying
