Morning Elvis Songtext
von Florence + the Machine

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 would have understood
Why I never made it to Graceland
The bathroom tiles were cool against my head
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

And if I make it to the morning
I should′ve come with a warning
And if I make it to the stage, I'll show you what it means
To be saved


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

If I make it to the morning
I should've come with a warning
And if I make it to the stage I′ll show you what it means
To be saved

And after every tour, I swear I'll quit
It′s all the boys now, this is it
But the call, it always comes
And the songs, like children
Begging to be born
But, oh, I guess I got my wish
But anything, anything, anything but this

If I make it to the morning
I should've come with a warning
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


To be spared
To be spared
To be spared
To be spared
