Casiotone For The Painfully Alone - Graceland lyrics

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
