Elvis Costello Oh Well Lyrics

Oh Well Lyrics

The ink is running, the words are taught

I'm sitting helpless with my paper and charts

I had to follow my passion, oh well



I don't get paid that much for all I deserve

To waste a sentence or shatter my nerves

I had to follow my passion, oh well



Sometimes I long to run outside

I'd give it all up but it's my pride

Oh well, oh well



I had a dream once or so I thought

I'd be a pilot or an astronaut

I had a dream like that until I found



Even an astronaut goes into the ground

Life is just passing us bye, bye

Oh well, oh well, oh well, oh well
