Seems to be coming from under the ground International echo It can't be repeated, it can't be resisted It went out straight, it came back twisted If you didn't see it their then you probably missed it International echo Must be something in the atmosphere Let me be your volunteer I thought I heard a signal coming through In a language that I never knew Give me seven inches, give me twelve Drop the needle on it and let it revolve I felt a pulse and a drum tattoo Even though it was taboo Solo Well, they paid me money for playing pretend Then they said that it must be the end But I was just following the popular trend International echo The beer from the bottle, wine from the grape I stood up straight, got bent out of shape Now I'm just looking for some way to escape International echo But everything I said just seems automatic The radio plays nothing but static I think that I'm about to flip my lid My waitress said that she might be my kid And give me seven inches, give me twelve Well, drop the needle on it and let it revolve Did you hear me calling you? 'Cause hear I go International echo, echo Solo The streets were deserted, the house was dark Down in the basement there's the faintest spark Three boys hoping to make their mark International echo Album Lyrics: Other Songs - Elvis Costello Elvis Costello "Other Songs - Elvis Costello" 1.
