Lyrics: Elvis Costello. It's Time.

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

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
