There’s An Elvis In Us All

Bedlam on the corner
there’s a darkness on the town
yet another fella’s burned out
and gone

Home-brewed fuse is burning
a little too fast for the crowd
bite the bitter bullet
to sleep prescribe to dream

wonder how I’ll end up
will I go that far?
who’ll be there to push me?
there’s an elvis in us all

stealing all the outtakes
clearing out the vaults
wrap him up in autumn
to have and be sold

wonder how I’ll end up
will I go that far?
who’ll be there to push me?
there’s an elvis in us all

between the heart and the life lines
maps of wars you wage and lose
dread the hours of last orders
with all these unlived lives
with all these unlived lives
with all these unlived lives….

…buying all the bootlegs
learning all the words
listening closely
for the signs we missed before
