In Another Room - Elvis Costello, The Imposters

In another room, just out of my sight

Words we used to say become so slight

Til they disappoint

And I know you won’t return my kiss

Did I not love you quite like this

In another room

In another room, where I’m obliged to wait

Til I become the man you barely tolerate

And the (--?--) (--?--)

And I’m extra drunk in the jambled dark

Did I not love you any more

In another room

In another room that I feel vacant

I can’t get used to it just yet

In another room you’re cried and shaken

Cursin' the very day we met

In another room, where we were before

Now you take your boy and you close the door

In another room, he’s kissin you so hard

The glass that’s in his hand, it shatters into shards

Splinters in his mouth

And the blood will run down in his cuff

Did I not love you quite enough

In another room, just out of my sight

In another room, goodbye, goodnight
