1. Hallway Home To Elvis
Got myself a cadillac
Dyed my hair from grey to black
Left behind yesterday
Destiny's a day away
Under memphis skies
Did you notice
I'm halfway home to elvis
In my blue suede shoes
I'm the big man, I'm halfway home
Halfway home to Graceland
Don't be cruel, see my sneer
From my pelvis to my ears
T.C.B., seize the throne
Can't believe I'm going home
Under memphis skies...
And with the kiss of my ring
You are in the big time
And with the wave of my hand
You're in for a bad time
Under memphis skies...
And with the wave of my hand...
To graceland
2. C'mon
Delilah... sits in a temple and stares
With magical eyes she wears
Will I stumble over her?
Will I fall?
Come on... Delilah... on burgandy drive
Come on... Delilah... she's workin' till five
Come on... Delilah... she's buried alive
Come on... just walk away
Come on... that's what I say
Come on
Delilah... how do you wear two hats
I never quite meant to do that
Will I stumble over her?
Will I fall?
Come on...
Are you listening to me?
Tell me am I only talking to myself
Delilah... sits in a temple and stares
Come on... Delilah... on burgandy drive
Come on... Delilah... she's workin' till five
Come on... Delilah... she's buried alive
Come on... just walk away
Come on... that's what I say
Come on... just walk away
Come on...
3. Snow In Tahiti
Make me a wish, mind over matter
Meat on a dish, soul on a platter
Rocks in your bed
Everybody's well fed
Laughs as you fall dead
As the sun will warm the day
Sees you in a different way
Show me, show me
Snow into heat, snow in tahiti
Sweat on your brow
Down to the playground
Scream as you go, all of the way down
Fear in your eyes, jumping on a big prize
Hear with your ears, love can never die
As the sun will warm the day...
4. Promise
She's a girl in my life
She's my friend, she's my wife
But she lives away from me
She needs to feel that she is free
And even though, it's all I've got
With her I don't need much
To know I've got a lot
She's a dove caught in flight
Without a landing place in sight
But if I know her like I think
She'll find a place before she sinks
She's off alone, on her own
Leaving me to sit beside the telephone
Cast away loose the knot
She's getting sun on the spot
Where her ring used to be
Before feelings were stronger than our promise
Yesterday we walked hand in hand
You were with me, you were my own
You were my girl, you were the lover of my life
She's the girl that I love
She's the one that I think of
I have to hold on to the hope
That I did not miss the boat
So life goes on day by day
All that's left for me is hit my knees and pray
Cast away loose the knot
I'm getting sun on the spot
Where my ring used to be
Now it feels so empty
So I put it back, I had to live
And I hope you can forgive
That I've tried to forget
That my feelings were stronger than a promise
And I promise to be stronger than...
5. Bullet Train
Lonely girl, little toy
Meets a misdirected boy
In a bitter world of honey
The sun is high, the well is dry
Blinded by love divine
But that love won't take me higher
'Cause I'm on the floor
Ever wanting more
And I have to catch a ride
'Cause she's faster
Than a speeding bullet
At the gate and I cannot wait
If I want to hitch a ride
'Cause she's faster
Than a speeding bullet train
She's got the will, got the fight
Every day and every night
She always thinks that I am lazy
Well here I stand, against the tree
Broken leg and wounded knee
And all I get is maybe maybe
'Cause I'm on the floor...
Now I hear her knockin' on my door
And I'm feeling faster than before
'Cause I'm faster than a speeding bullet train
Lonely girl, little toy
Meets a misdirected boy
In a bitter world of honey
'Cause I'm on the floor...
Now she's on the floor, ever wanting more
And she wants to catch a ride,
'Cause I'm faster than a speeding bullet
At the gate, and she'll have to wait
She can see me from behind
'Cause I'm faster than a speeding bullet
Faster than a speeding bullet train
6. Waiting On The Son
In the dark reverie - oh oh oh
She paints me green
With a silent melody
Faded flower on my sleeve - oh oh oh
You're never alone
When you're alone by yourself
There's always a home
When you are waiting on the son
Hear the voices calling ever so gently
Today I'm gonna shine
I'm just waiting on the son
When the dog gets me down - oh oh oh
I'm lost but found
Shipping distant memories
To my castles in my dreams - oh oh oh
You're never alone...
7. Yesterday I Found You
Yesterday I cried balloons
Rubber tears came out
Like water on the moon
With scarlett eyes
I tried to find my way
Yesterday I found myself
Yesterday I lost a tooth
I saw the fairy on the roof
Yesterday I heard the news
My fruity looms became a noose
And everywhere I turn
Just leads me back to you
Yesterday I found myself
Marching in a mine field
Yesterday I found myself
Drowning in the rain
Yesterday I found myself
Walking in a wildfire
Yesterday I found myself
Dying yesterday
Yesterday I hit the wall
Had nobody else to call
Planted peaches in the mall
Was it yesterday at all
And everywhere I turn
Just leads me back to you
Yesterday I found myself...
And there is more behind
This curtain we'll see
Yesterday I found myself...
8. Be Like You
See you there, the pain you bear but nobody around you seems to care
A wounded heart, cast aside and now you go to sleep, it's an early rise
I just want to be like you
Just want to be like you
I just wanna be, I just wanna be
I just want to be like you
Here you are, another day, saving us the race in a human way
Sacrifice the life you lead, gives a man like me a new place to be
I just want to be like you...
9. Flowers
I said I do, and I do
But I don't do the dishes and the windows
She said she do, and she done
But she don't turn the fishes into minnows
Can't stop my hands from shakin' ...no ...no
Today's the day, I'm on my way
I'm bringing flowers to the girl I love
I won't be late, I'm on my way
I'm bringing flowers to the girl I love
They said we do, and we done
But we won't turn our feathers into pillows
We said we do, and we don't
And we won't turn the tables on our fellows
Can't stop my head from aching ...no ...no
Today's the day, I'm on my way...
Everytime I turn around, catch you on the fly
When our ships are passing by, sail up to the sky
Today's the day I'm on my way...
10. Shame On The Butterfly
Don't play along, don't bring me promises
Don't you be long, don't bring me down
I'm on the brink, the brink of a laugh or cry
The edge of a live or die
Shame on the world - shame on the butterfly
Shame on the world - don't even ask me why
Shame on the world - shame as she flutters by
Shame on the world - shame on the butterfly
Don't do too much, don't try to tell her
(Don't try to tell her anything)
Don't think too much, don't try to see
I'm on the edge of a mountain peak
Living in mystery... so...
Shame on the world...
Yeah Yeah - Yeah Yeah
11. Paging Willie Mays
You scream no fear, medallions on your ears
Are you the deal, with all your humble pride
Under the lights, it's only a game - october skies
Those were the days... paging willie mays
Gone is the class
You spit out broken glass
Are you for real
Strawberry's in the field?
Under the lights, it's only a game...
Under the lights, it's only a game...
Under the lights... paging willie mays
October skies... paging willie mays
Those were the days... paging willie mays
