Glitter Gulch by Elvis Costello
Glitter Gulch
A D
Enter Madam X painted in a shocking pink spangled dress
E A
Her teeth are perfect but her mouth is loose
A D
Rubbing their hands together she persuades them that it's better to confess
E A
Which unpleasant fate they'd like to choose
(chorus)
D
Every step might be your last
D G
Money signs are in your eyes sucker

D
You've been taken in this time
D G
You might just get out alive if you're lucky
D
All the vultures tuning in to Glitter Gulch
E
Are looking in on you
A
And they're hungry
He stood five feet tall in his elevator shoes and stovepipe hat
He was known by several different names
Prompted by Madam X he answered all their questions
And then after that he said I'm sick and tired of stupid games
(chorus)
G
We've got prizes if you can afford
D
Some small humiliation before you get your reward
G
And I'd rather be an outlaw than an inlaw to you
[ch]A(7)[/ch]
And to live my life in miserable poverty
A7
Than to have to grovel to have some dream home hovel
G A
So watch me while I get away with prime time robbery
(chorus)
As he enters Madam X he things of red raged faces and the sweet greenbacks
He climbed upon his honey and he covered her with money
As they do their victory dance
He thinks I hope they choke upon their laughter tracks
They can all go straight to hell while we howl down the whole hotel
