Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello - 5ive Gears in Reverse lyrics

Five gears in reverse

For girls looking at the big lift

Somebody send out for the night nurse

Please don't stick me on the late shift

If you don't know by now

Nobody's gonna tell you

If you don't know by now

The shock will probably kill you

But if your patience is corrupted and you still cannot decide

You're sitting in the garage contemplating suicide

And you have no motivation you can't even catch your breath

All of this acceleration is driving you to death

Five gears in reverse

You think I don't know what I'm doing

Another fashionable first

Like walking down the road to ruin

But if you're safe and sound

Don't let me interrupt you

And if you're gagged and bound

Well how can I corrupt you

Chorus
