elvis costello - don't be careless love lyrics

[verse 1]
burn the midnight lamp
down until the dawn
i’ll keep watch
until i’m sure you’re coming home
shadows play
and fl!cker on the bedroom wall
they turn into a bad dream overnight
something could be terribly wrong

[chorus]
don’t be careless love[x2]
don’t be, don’t be careless

[verse 2]
in my dream you’re running nowhere
every step you’ve taken turns to glue
walking down a spiral staircase
failing through, failing through
don’t be careless love
be careless love
the lamp burns down and out
i’m getting pretty tired of this
i feel so bad
something might be going amiss
i won’t be there
so look out for yourself
you’re getting in deep whatever you do
don’t let me go back to sleep

[chorus]

[verse 3]
saw your face in the morning paper
saw your body rolled up in a rug
chopped up into two little pieces
by some thug

[chorus]
don’t be careless love
be careless love

[verse 4]
but in the morning light
when i wake up again
you’re by my side
and that’s the way it’s always been
but in the dark
your mind plays funny tricks on you[x3]

[outro]
don’t be careless love
