Hank, Elvis, And Kurt

Hank, Elvis, and Kurt, won't you tell me how to deal with all this hurt?
Your saddest songs make me smile even when I feel like dirt
You tell me that you've been through this before
It's nothing new, it's nothing I cannot afford
If I sit back and listen for a while, you'll take me to that golden shore

Help me see the light in the ghetto of my mind
There's something in the way and we got to make it right
Alone and forsaken, stupid and contagious
A big hunk of love that went away
You left before your time

Kurt, Elvis, and Hank, won't you tell me how to disperse all this pain
Popping pills, and alcohol, and shotgun shells, they don't make it what it ain't
You tell me that maybe I'm not alone
It's nothing new, everybody's felt forlorn
If I sit back, you'll help me handle all this Hell
Soon enough, it will be gone

Help me see the light in the ghetto of my mind
There's something in the way and we got to make it right
Alone and forsaken, stupid and contagious
A big hunk of love that went away
You left before your time

Hank, Kurt, and Elvis, I know you'd know just how to tell this story a better shade of blue
Make it not so selfish
You tell me to stand taller than the trees, eat up all of my disease
For your sake, I feel it too
And I'll post all these decrees

Help me see the light in the ghetto of my mind
There's something in the way and we got to make it right
Alone and forsaken, stupid and contagious
A big hunk of love that went away
You left before your time
I never saw the light in the ghetto of my mind
