His mother was the Mississippi delta, yeah. His father was the alligator blues. He was born in a studio in Memphis. His mother was the blue suede shoes.
Oh she walks in a room she owns. And eyes always follow the light. It goes right down to the toes, yeah. If you think that she's magic you're wrong. .
I wanna be Elvis, I wanna be Dean. I wanna be Elvis in the cool machine. I wanna be Elvis back in '55. Singing 'Mystery Train' in a Memphis dive. . I wanna be Elvis, I wanna be Dean.
How can I sleep at night with all the things I said?. How can I sleep at night when the evidence is read?. How can I sleep at night when the world is turning red?.
She's running through the cornfields of New York City. And I'm driving by the cornfields of Illinois. And I wonder how the dream feels in New York City.
Don't give me a place for my memories to stay. Don't show me an inn or a light to find the way. I ain't got time for the things on your mind. And I'm leavin you today on my way.
Welcome back.. Your dreams were your ticket out.. Welcome back,. To that same old place that you laughed about,. Well the names have all changed since you hung around..
CHORUS:. Summertimes for summer girls,. Who kiss and run away.. But winter girls have loving arms,. To warm a winters day.. My babe,. My babe when the leaves turn brown..
Now the windows are black. And the lock's on the door. And my copied key. I can't use anymore. . Strangers walk through your room. They're all looking to score.
I can't count and I can't think straight. I lost you this afternoon. Now it's raining so I think I'll sleep in late. I can't think of anything to do. .
Waste of breath. Falling stars no one will see. He's diagnosed. I tried too hard to catch. What she was giving me. It still feels strange to be coming clean.
I want to trace your scars with my fingertips. Follow it's fracturing line. I think you should know how beautiful and brave. You already are. . So sick of secondhand lovers carving names on my chest.
We take a walk and open up her heart. Dont want a ride, we watch the cabs go by. And take our time, we should take our time. Its just that I think you should stay in Brooklyn tonight.
Here we go again. Lessons I & II. That it's never coming back. And it's never up to you. . You thought they were your friends. With their fingers stuck in you.
I was standing on the edge of it. I was looking down, I was getting sick. But you were sitting on the shore. Looking beautiful and bored. . So I took a step and I felt the air.
It's alright, you tried. Let's just pretend the cameras lied. And you were always there. And I was never scared. And I haven't missed you all my life.
I've got a better idea. You can take my car. I've got no use for it now. And it won't get you very far. . If it starts breaking down, leave it where it lies.
When you say medicine, I take your pseudonym. I know your accidents, you made them happen. Open flower, your darkest hour. Okinawa, your pain is power.
Headlights, last rights. Phone call that I know you don't want to pick up. Goodbye, green eyes, ice block at noon. Better keep those eyes shut. . Shut mine 'cause I'm better off.
