Elvis Costello I Want to Vanish Lyrics

I want to vanish this is my fondest wish
To go where I cannot be captured laid on a decorated dish
Even in splendour this curious fate
Is more than I care to surrender now it's too late
horus
Whether in wonder or indecent haste
You arrange the mirrors and the spoons
To snare the rare and precious jewels
That were only made of paste
If you should stumble upon my last remark
I'm crying in the wilderness I'm trying my best to make it dark
How can I tell you I'm rarer than most
I'm certain as a lost dog pondering a signpost
horus
Whether in wonder or indecent haste
You arrange the mirrors and the spoons
To snare the rare and precious jewels
That were only made of paste
I want to vanish this is my last request
I've given you the awful truth now give me my rest
