Lyrics I'm In The Mood Again - Elvis Costello

I'm In The Mood Again

Hail to the taxis
They go where I go
Farewell the newspapers that know more than I know
Flung under a street-lamp still burning at dawn
I’m in the mood again
I walk the damp streets rather than slumber
Along the fine windows of shameless and plunder
But none of their riches could ever compare
I don’t know what’s come over me
But it’s nothing that I’m doing wrong
You took the breath right out of me
Now you’ll find it in the early hours
In a lover’s song
I lay my head down on fine linens and satin
Away from the mad-hatters who live in Manhattan
The Empire State Building illuminating the sky
I’m in the mood, I’m in the mood, I’m in the mood again
