Lyrics
Elvis
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.
Well I'll go away
Well I’ll go on my wordless way
Don't say anything
Say nothing, just leave me
Cause I’ve been merely, an actor
In your painful play
But I feel too much to stay
Just cast me out
You can have the pictures
You can have the jacked up car
And take the book on meditation
I’ll just take home what I brought
My big painted velvet Elvis
Well it's my big painted velvet Elvis
Take it away
Well take it all away
Don't leave anything
Leave nothing, except me
Cause I’ve been sadly, misinformed
Well I thought it mattered a little more
Than this, I wish
I was a thousand miles away
You can have the pictures
You can have the jacked up car
And take the book on meditation
I’ll just take home what I brought
My big painted velvet Elvis
Well it's my big painted velvet Elvis
Oh yeah
Big painted velvet Elvis
Well I might stumble but I’ll make it through this
Oh yeah
Well I’m frozen here
Caged in silence
It's better that I
Regret these words
Than to stand aside
And watch your tragic
Story-line unfold
Just let me go
You can have the pictures
You can have the jacked up car
And take the book on meditation
I’ll just take home what I brought
Big painted velvet Elvis
Well it's my big painted velvet Elvis
Well you took my heart
And you took my soul
And you used me
I've had plenty of that
It gets harder and harder
And farther and farther
From what I need for me
Yeah, yeah
Take it away
