I Want To Vanish
Elvis Costello
[Intro] [Verse 1] I want to vanish this is my fondest wish To go where I cannot be captured laid on a decorated dish Even in splendour this curious fate Is more than I care to surrender now it’s too late [Chorus] Whether in wonder or indecent haste You arrange the mirrors and the spoons To snare the rare and precious jewels F C Caug That were only made of paste [Verse 2] If you should stumble upon my last remark I’m crying in the wilderness I’m trying my best to make it dark How can I tell you I’m rarer than most I’m certain as a lost dog pondering a signpost [Chorus] Whether in wonder or indecent haste You arrange the mirrors and the spoons To snare the rare and precious jewels F C Caug That were only made of paste [Outro] I want to vanish this is my last request I’ve given you the awful truth now give me my rest
