Morning Elvis

Lyrics for Morning Elvis

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 tiles were cool against my head I pressed my forehead to the floor and prayed for a trapdoor I've been here many times before But I've never made it to Graceland If I make it to the morning I should've come with a warning And if I make it to the stage, I'll show you what it means To be saved 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 I'll get the next flight And I'll see you all with Elvis If I don't survive the night If I make it to the morning I shoulda come with a warning And if I make it to the stage, I'll show you what it means To be saved And after every tour, I swear I'll quit It's all the boys now, this is it But the call, it always comes, and 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 morning I should've come with a warning If I make it to the stage, I'll show you what it means To be saved Oh, you know I'm still afraid I'm still crazy and I'm still scared But if I make it to the stage, I'll show you what it means To be spared To be spared To be spared To be spared To be spared
