florence + the machine - morning elvis (live at madison square garden) lyrics

[spoken]
this is a song called “morning elvis”

[verse 1]
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 woulda understood
why i never made it to graceland
the bathroom tiles were cool against my hand
i 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
[chorus]
and if i make it to the mornin’
i shoulda come with a warnin’
and if i make it to the stage
i’ll show you what it means
to be saved

[verse 2]
well, pick me up in new orleans
pinned in a bathroom stall
pick me up above my body
press 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

[chorus]
if i make it to the mornin’
i shoulda come with a warnin’
and if i make it to the stage
i’ll show you what it means
to be saved

[bridge]
and after every tour, i swear i’ll quit
it’s over, boys, now this is it
but the call, it always comes
and the songs like children beggin’ to be born
but, oh, i guess i got my wish
but anything, anything, anything but this
[chorus]
if i make it to the mornin’
i shoulda come with a warnin’
but if i make it to the stage
i’ll show you what it means
to be saved
oh, 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

[outro]
to be spared
to be spared
to be spared
to be spared
