Elvis Costello - Talking In The Dark lyrics

I tried in vain to drive myself insane

I talk to myself but I don't listen

I found out what I was missing

I miss talking in the dark

Without you, I'm not conversational

Without the sense of the occasional

Without you, I miss talking in the dark

When the barking and the biting is through

We can talk like we're in love or talk like we're above it

We can talk and talk until we talk ourselves out of it

I look for the news, somebody to abuse

I look at myself but it's so chancy

I see things that I don't fancy

I miss talking in the dark

Without you, I'm not conversational

Without the sense of the occasional

Without you, I miss talking in the dark

Without you, I miss talking in the dark
