Morning Elvis (Live At Madison Square Garden)
This is the song called, "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 should've 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
Well, 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
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 should've 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
Well, 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
