Elvis (Not)

Never had the guts to light the fireworks routine
No one got to see them in the sky
Never found the nerve to sing about those eyes so green
Another year went slowly sulking by

You got the lip
That's about it
Who the hell you think you are making someone wait?
Said it was cool but you were full of shit
Falling way too short of Elvis
Way too short of Elvis
Falling way too short of Elvis
Trying to relate

Never said you had the gig or made you any kind of promise
That's the way it works with deals on spec
Crucifying someone being kind instead of honest
Surest sign somebody's a train wreck

You got the lip
And that's about it
Who the hell you think you are making someone wait?
Said it was cool but you were full of shit
Falling way too short of Elvis
Way too short of Elvis
Falling way too short of Elvis
Trying to create

You made me wait a real long time
Punishment don't fit the crime
If you don't already know it I am done
Down and dirty by the dozen
Man I gotta tell ya cousin
All that 3rd grade whining isn't my idea of fun

Apologies are lost on you and damn it so are prayers
You don't believe in either one apparently
Crying like a brat whose bottle just fell down the stairs
Nobody cares but me and that's the fucking irony

You got the lip
And that's about it
Who the hell you think you are making someone wait?
Said it was cool but you were full of shit
Falling way too short of Elvis
Way too short of Elvis
Falling way too short of
Trying to create
Trying to create
Trying to create
