elvis costello - i'm in the mood again lyrics

hail to the taxis
they go where i go
farewell the newspapers that know more than i know
flung under a street-lamp still burning at dawn
i'm in the mood again

i walk the damp streets rather than slumber
along the fine windows of shameless and plunder
but none of their riches could ever compare
i'm in the mood again

i don't know what's come over me
but it's nothing that i'm doing wrong
you took the breath right out of me
now you'll find it in the early hours
in a lover's song

i lay my head down on fine linens and satin
away from the mad-hatters who live in manhattan
the empire state building illuminating the sky
i'm in the mood, i'm in the mood, i'm in the mood again.
