[Verse 1]
Straighten my sweater, fix my spine
Step up in line, I'm ordering food high
And I don't know why

In my mind, a river running free like rapids

Fix me a blue sky in a warm sun
And I'll be back now
Julia
How long, how long till I'm all gone?
'Cause here I am
[Interlude]
Just stumbling down
Elysian Fields
The spanish moss
And that southern feel
The silver moonlight in the trees
And the devils in my bloodstream
Don't say you loved the old me
Stumbling down Elysian Fields
Your vision coming clear
That I don't know where home is
And the doors wide open
Julia
How long, how long, how long, oh lord, oh lord
Julia
How long, how long till it's all gone?
How long, how long?
'Cause you deserve a man to lead you in
But here I am just stumbling down Elysian Fields again
