Graceland Songtext

von Casiotone for the Painfully Alone

The Mississippi Delta was shining like a National guitar.
And I am following the river
Down the highway
Through the cradle of the civil war

I'm going to Graceland
In Memphis Tennessee
I'm going to Graceland

Poorboys and Pilgrims with families
And we're all going to Graceland,
And My traveling companion is nine years old
And He is the child from my first marriage,
And I've reason to believe
We both will be received in Graceland

She comes back to tell me she's gone,
As if I didn't notice
As if I didn't know my own bed,
As if I'd never noticed
The way she brushed her hair from her forehead
And she'll say losing love
Is like a window in your heart,
'Cause everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody hears the wind blow
The sound is Graceland

This girl in Redwood City
Calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling flying
And tumbling in turmoil I'll think
Oh so this is what she means
She means we're bouncing into Graceland,
She'll losing love
Is like a window in your heart
'Cause everybody sees you're blown apart,
Everybody hears the wind blow

And I may be obliged to defend
Every love and every ending
And maybe there's no obligations now
Maybe I've a reason to believe
We all will be received in Graceland

I'm going to Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
I'm going to Graceland
