Lyrics The Whirlwind - Elvis Costello
I
came
out
to
this
town
To
seek
a
new
career
Or
just
another
kind
of
whirlwind
Than
one
that
brought
me
here
I
stare
up
through
the
ceiling
Past
the
plaster
and
the
paint
Considering
the
stars
that
shine
And
flare
and
fall
before
they′re
spent
How
could
you
know?
My
common
senses
had
deserted
me
on
certain
nights
When
other
gentlemen
have
courted
me
But
in
the
light
of
morning
They
would
turn
to
see
me
go
I've
had
my
moments
But
all
too
few
You
think
you
know
me
Maybe
you
do
But
in
the
light
of
morning
You
will
turn
to
see
me
go
Nothing′s
lost
and
no
one's
won
It's
over
now
and
now
it′s
done
I
may
be
lying
This
may
be
true
You
think
you
know
me
Maybe
you
do,
maybe
you
do
Maybe
you
do
