Graceland - 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
