Memphis Songtext
von The Jelly Jam

[The local community turns against The Prophet and his Followers. He is run out of town.
As the Followers disperse to hide, The Prophet hears that The Profiteers are killing Followers in Memphis.
He wants to help... if he can only get there in time]

Driving down to Memphis
To see what I can see
Trying to get away from
All these people chasing me
When I tried to tell them
"Something′s looking wrong"
They said they would hang me
Get back where I belong


I've got to get away
Driving down to Memphis
Get me out of here
I′ve got to get away

See the burning water
Smoke is in the air
See the people turning
Who couldn't give a care
See the smiling vulture
Wine glass in his hand
See the sneer across his face
As darkness fills the land

I've got to get away
Driving down to Memphis
Get me out of here
I′ve got to get away


I′ve got to get away
Driving down to Memphis
Get me out of here
