Lyrics In Another Room - Elvis Costello, The Imposters

In Another Room

In another room, just out of my sight
Words we used to say become so slight
Til they disappoint
And I know you won’t return my kiss
Did I not love you quite like this
In another room
In another room, where I’m obliged to wait
Til I become the man you barely tolerate
And the (--?--) (--?--)
And I’m extra drunk in the jambled dark
Did I not love you any more
In another room
In another room that I feel vacant
I can’t get used to it just yet
In another room you’re cried and shaken
Cursin' the very day we met
In another room, where we were before
Now you take your boy and you close the door
In another room, he’s kissin you so hard
The glass that’s in his hand, it shatters into shards
Splinters in his mouth
And the blood will run down in his cuff
Did I not love you quite enough
In another room, just out of my sight
In another room, goodbye, goodnight
