Elvis woke me in the afternoon He told me Church was over That I missed the Sunday service Yet I still heard the choir Just down the corridor
I prayed on the steps of Graceland To a statue of a lion Cascading in the light Spilling off stained glass He told me Winner takes all And I gambled my heart Right out of my chest
Sliding out of my shoes I fell down the stairs And landed in a hotel bed Picket fence lining my frame The devil told me My alarm was going off But I like to think it's all apart of My American dream
