It's Time Lyrics - Elvis Costello

The party's over, your time is up 

You've had your last pointless teardrop 

Washed down in that broken coffee cup 

This magic moment concludes 

When that cigarette ends 

Did you get what you wanted? 

Well, I suppose that depends 

Well, I suppose that depends 

If you go, if you go 

Where passion is squandered 

And money is spent 

It's time, it's time 

It's time, it's time 

It's time, it's time, it's time 

You must see, it's time that you went 

You must see, it's time that you went

Our brief acquaintance was such a mistake 

Now it seems more like a sentence 

Or something you always had to fake 

This magic moment concludes 

When they turn out the light 

It's not the days when you leave me 

But all I fear are the nights 

But all I fear are the nights 

If you go, if you go 

Where passion is squandered 

And money is spent 

It's time, it's time 

It's time, it's time 

It's time, it's time, it's time 

You must see, it's time that you went 

You must see, it's time that you went 

Photos 

You told the same joke to me too many times 

I wish that someone would hit it 

Just before you reach, just before you reach 

Just before you reach the punchline 

The party's over, time we broke up 

It always seemed like a bad dream 

One where I finally woke up 

This magic moment 

Concluding our mutual fate 

But if you do have to leave me 

Who will I have left to hate? 

Who will I have left to hate? 

If you go, if you go 

Where passion is squandered 

And money is spent 

It's time, it's time 

It's time, it's time 

It's time, it's time, it's time 

You must see, it's time that you went 

You must see, it's time that you went
