The Other End Of The Telescope
Costello Elvis

Costello Elvis

All This Useless Beauty

The Other End Of The Telescope

Shall we agree that just this once

I'm going to change my life

Until it's just as tiny or important as you like

And in time we won't even remember we spoke

Words that turned out to be as big as smoke

A smoke that disappears into the air

There's always something smoldering somewhere


I know it don't make a difference to you

But oh! It sure made a difference to me

You'll see me off in the distance I hope

At the other end

At the other end of the telescope


The promise of indulgence in my confidential voice

Approached immortal danger but you'll never know how close

Then down the hall I overheard such a heavenly choir

They interrupted my evil designs

One day you are up in the clouds

The next thing you're down with the Sweet Adelines


I know it don't make a difference to you

But oh! It sure made a difference to me

You'll see me off in the distance I hope


At the other end

At the other end of the telescope


Lie down baby now

Don't say a word

There there baby your vision is blurred

Your head is so sore from all of that thinking

I don't want to hurt you know

But I think you're shrinking


You're half-naked ambition and half out of your wits

Or several tiny fractions that this portrait still omits

Now it's so hard to pick the receiver up when I call

I never noticed you could be so small

The answer was under your nose but the question never arose


I know it don't make a difference to you

But oh! It sure made a difference to me

You'll see me off in the distance I hope

'Cos late in the evening as I sit here moping

With a bamboo needle on a shellac of Chopin

And the cast-iron heart that you failed to tear open

At the other end

At the other end of the telescope
