WISH
Oh, don’t you wish sometimes, you could drown
Oh, don’t you wish sometimes, you could drown
Fill up them black old lungs, let them pull your body down
Yeah don’t you wish sometimes you could drown
Yeah, don’t you ever wish, you could burst right into flames
Yeah, don’t you ever wish, you could burst right into flames
Set fire to the world in the name of Good King James
Yeah, don’t you wanna burst right into flames
Chorus
When your drowning on the inside, profanity floods out
Just sprinkle in some hatred, add a little pinch of doubt
I’m a simple and uncomplicated,
Capable but unmotivated
Don’t you ever wish you could fall back to the earth
Don’t you ever wish you could fall back to the earth
sweep me in the gutter with the pride of old Fort Worth
Don’t you wanna fall back to the earth
Yeah, don’t you ever wish, you could sacrifice
Nail your own damn hands to some bloody cross tonight
Be lured to some impending doom or fabled paradise
Yeah, don’t you ever wish you could sacrifice
Chorus
When your drowning on the inside, profanity floods out
Just sprinkle in some hatred, add a little pinch of doubt
I’m a simple and uncomplicated
Shy but self-opinionated
Sober but intoxicated
Righteous but not vindicated
Oh, don’t you wish sometimes, you could drown
Oh, don’t you wish sometimes, you could drown
Fill up them black old lungs, let them pull your body down
Yeah don’t you wish sometimes you could drown
ELVIS
(What Made Elvis So Damn Good)
Well he lit out on that dance floor like demon outta Hell, like a demon out Hell
After one more sleepless night at the Gulf Hills Hotel, the Gulf Hills hotel
So love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go
Well I tried to write a song the best I ever could
But I still ain’t figured out just what made Elvis so damn good?
What makes Elvis so damn good?
The sweetest thing from Tupelo, far too young to ever die, far too young
Shakin’ like amphetamine, drowned in Bullet Rye, drowned in Bullet Rye
So, your looking for trouble? You came to the right place
Well I tried to drown myself as often as I could
But I still ain’t figured out just what made Elvis so damn good?
What makes Elvis so damn good?
The King of Rock and Roll bends the crowd to his command, bend the crowd to his command
Held the world that Vegas night in the palm of his right hand, the palm of his right hand
When you smile the world is brighter, touch my hand and I'm a king
Well I tried to live as high as often as I could
But I still ain’t figured out just what made Elvis so damn good?
Well I tried to tear it down like my mother said I would
But I still ain’t figured out just what made Elvis so damn good?
So what made Elvis sing like Elvis, swing like Elvis,
Cry like Elvis could?
You know, I just can’t figure out, what makes Elvis Aron Presley…so damn good?
