Elvis Costello

Glitter Gulch Songtext / Lyric


Elvis Costello - Glitter Gulch Songtext


Enter Madam X, painted in

A shocking pink spangled dress

Her teeth are perfect but her mouth is loose



Rubbing their hands together

She persuades them that it's better to confess

Which unpleasant fate they'd like to choose



Every step might be your last

Money signs are in your eyes sucker

You've been taken in this time



You might just get out alive if you're lucky

All the vultures tuning in to Glitter Gulch

Are looking in on you and they're hungry



He stood five feet tall in his

Elevator shoes and stovepipe hat

He was known by several different names



Prompted by Madam X he answered all their questions

And then after that he said

I'm sick and tired of stupid games






Every step might be your last

Money signs are in your eyes sucker

You've been taken in this time



You might just get out alive if you're lucky

All the vultures tuning in to Glitter Gulch

Are looking in on you and they're hungry



We've got prizes if you can afford

Some small humiliation before you get your reward

And I'd rather be an outlaw than an inlaw to you



And to live my life in miserable poverty

Than to have to grovel to have some dream home hovel

So watch me while I get away with prime time robbery



As he enters Madam X he things of

Red raged faces and the sweet greenbacks

He climbed upon his honey

And he covered her with money



As they do their victory dance

He thinks I hope they choke upon their laughter tracks

They can all go straight to hell

While we howl down the whole hotel
