Graceland
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Countdown to zero, to zero
I am listening
Through the walls, not at all
What I thought I was missing
In my case there is something in the will to escape life at last
As we ride into the sun safe we burst into flames
I don't know, I don't know how you missed us
Rolling by, rolling by like the three ghosts of Christmas
In my life this will happen to a boy every time, the perfect crime
Which as everybody knows pays just fine
So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even
Lights out and the first of your circuits is broken
Tell the post, good to go, set it, give into motion
In my life this will happen to a boy every time
The perfect crime which everybody knows pays just fine
So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even
So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even
