When they dressed me and they put me on a plane to Memphis, well I never got to see Elvis I just sweated it out in a hotel room But I think the king would have understood
Why I never made it to Graceland The bathroom towels were cool against my head I pressed my forehead to the floor and prayed for a trapdoor IÂŽve been here many times before But IÂŽve never made it to Graceland
And if I make it to the morninÂŽ I shouldÂŽve come with a warninÂŽ And if I make it to the stage IÂŽll show you what it means To be sad
Well, pick me up in New Orleans Pinned in a bathroom stall Pick me up above my body Press my corpse against the wall I told the band to leave without me
IÂŽll get the next flight And IÂŽll see you all with Elvis If I donÂŽt survive the night
If I make it to the morninÂŽ I shouldÂŽve come with a warninÂŽ And if I make it to the stage IÂŽll show you what it means To be sad
And if theyÂŽd ever tore us where I quit ItÂŽs all the boys now, this is it But the calm, it always comes In the songs like children Begging to be born But, oh, I guess I got my wish Anything, anything, anything but this
If I make it to the morninÂŽ I shouldÂŽve come with a warninÂŽ But if I make it to the stage IÂŽll show you what it means To be sad Oh, you know IÂŽm still afraid IÂŽm still crazy and IÂŽm still scared But if I make it to the stage IÂŽll show you what it means To be spared To be spared To be spared To be spared To be spared
Presse mon cadavre contre le mur Jâai dit au groupe de partir sans moi Je prendrai le prochain vol Et je vous verrai tous avec Elvis Si je ne survis pas Ă la nuit
