Costello, Elvis - The Imposter Lyrics

hes got double vision meanwhile youre double jointed? So this is about accomodating a lunatic.

I wanna mainline this song.

[Verse 1]
Trying to be too bad
Trying to talk too tough
Trying to jack the lad
You'd think you'd had enough

[Chorus]
But he's not the man you'd think that he can be
I just don't know why you can't see
That he is only the imposter
That he is only the imposter

[Verse 2]
You've never been this far
You've always been too smart
And you know all our boys
Are really girls at heart

[Chorus]
But he's not the man you'd think that he can be
I just don't know why you can't see
That he is only the imposter
That he is only the imposter

[Bridge]
When I said that I was lying I might have been lying
Never let me hear you say you're not trying
No, no

[Verse 3]
This is your big decision
Hope you're not disappointed
He's got double vision
When you want him double jointed

[Chorus]
And he's not the man you'd think that he can be
I just don't know why you can't see
The imposter

[Outro]
He'll only bring you souvenirs
It's only going to end in tears
And he is only the imposter
And he is only the imposter

Bruce Thomas' bass is insane in this!

Elvis C. NOT the imposter.
