[Lyric] From a Whisper to a Scream first alternate version (Elvis Costello)

Oh, it's not easy to resist temptation
Walking around, looking like a figment of somebody else's imagination
Taking every word she says just like an open invitation
But the power of persuasion is no match for anticipation

Like a finger running down a seam
From a whisper to a scream
From a whisper to a scream
Couldn't be so wrong
Please, please don't leave me waiting so long
Waiting so long
Waiting so long

If the customers like it, then they'll keep on paying
If they keep on drinking, then they'll end up staying
I heard someonе say, "Where have wе met before?"
But the one over the eight seems less like one and more like four

Like a finger running down a seam
From a whisper to a scream
From a whisper to a scream
Couldn't be so wrong
Please, please don't leave me waiting too long
Waiting too long
Waiting too long
Like a finger running down a seam
From a whisper to a scream
Like a finger running down a seam
From a whisper to a scream
