Morning Elvis (Live At Denver Ball Arena)

[Verse 1: Florence Welch, Ethel Cain, Both]
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 motel room
But I think the king would've understood
Why I never made it to Graceland
Bathroom tiles were cool against my hand
I pressed my forehead to the floor and I prayed for a trapdoor
I've been here many times before
But I've never made it to Graceland

[Chorus: Florence Welch & Ethel Cain]
And if I make it to the mornin'
I shoulda come with a warnin'
And if I make it to the stage
I'll show you what it means
To be saved

[Verse 2: Ethel Cain, Florence Welch, Both]
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, I'll get the next flight
And I'll see you all with Elvis
If I don't survive the night

[Chorus: Florence Welch & Ethel Cain]
If I make it to the mornin'
I shoulda come with a warnin'
And if I make it to the stage
I'll show you what it means
To be saved

[Bridge: Ethel Cain, Florence Welch]
And after every tour, I swear I'll quit
It's over, boys, now this is it
But the call, it always comes
The songs like children beggin' to be born
But I guess I got my wish
But anything, anything, anything but this

[Chorus: Both, Florence Welch, Ethel Cain]
If I make it to the mornin'
I shoulda come with a warnin'
If I make it to the stage
I'll show you what it means
To be saved
Well, 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
