Next Time 'round Lyrics - Blood & Chocolate - Elvis Costello

As I stepped out upon the landing my heart was already down the stairs 

She's in the bedroom with that boy of hers 

Though her face is creased and her eyes seem strange 

There's a second-hand emotion on battered forty-five 

My tears were never enough to keep that girl alive 

Now she seems contrite will she make the change 

Chorus: the next time 'round 

The next time 'round 

You'll be someone else's baby 

But I'll be underground 

The next time 'round

Then you took two steps forward and then one step on your back 

Now it's a future for me and you that I lack 

You'll be the one who'll stands out in the dark 

Even when you're all dressed in black 

Chorus 

You've got something I want now 

And I've got something I can't hide 

I've got too much love for you now 

Have you got too much pride 

Sometimes I name and number all the things you gave to me 

Your elastic love, this velvet-line purgatory 

You used to take the breath out of me 

Now I think you'll be the death of me

You'll be in some sputnik baby 

But I'll be underground
