skyscraper stan - elvis lyrics

i see dirty water all along the marshal line
while the city stands with missing t++th against the southern sky
all along the railside the grass is turning brown
and people just get stupid as i roll further out of town

inside his plastic children elvis holds his new born son
but his hands are getting tired now, he’s only twenty one
the sun is on amphetamines, it eats into his skin
the walls are being crushed by all the nothing pressing in

oh brother, can a man hope to be
greater than the size of his hometown
oh brother do you hear
that hollow whistling sound

for just one fleeting second, just a moment after birth
elvis like his son was once the youngest man on earth
and for that moment he was someone, though he didn’t have a name
that first unseeing second was his only taste of fame
so i step down from the v line with the notebook that i bought
i caught the train to nowhere but i missed my train of thought

oh brother, can a man hope to be
greater than the size of his hometown
oh brother do you hear
that hollow whistling sound
so his parents set his bed alight before his bags were even packed
his mind once bottled memories but he bent it till it cracked
and with a coin in the ignition, elvis listens for my call
he knows my train will come in late if it even comes at all
the station smells of diesel and the wind is blowing hot
across an empty swimming pool in the town that rain forgot

oh brother, can a man hope to be
greater than the size of his hometown
oh brother do you hear
that hollow whistling sound
