Morning Elvis Lyrics

Morning Elvis - Florence + The Machine

...

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

Bathroom towels were cool against my

head

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 have come with warning

And if I make it to the stage I'll

Show you what it means to be sad

Well pick me up in New Orleans

Pinned in a bathroom stall

Pick me up above my body

Pressed 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 have come with warning

If I make it to the stage I'll show you what it means

To be sad

And after every tour, I swear I'll quit

It's over boys, now this is it

But the call it always comes and it sounds 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 have come with warning

If I make it to the stage I'll

Show you what it means

To be sad

But 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
