"Elvis" lyrics - SISTER HAZEL

SISTER HAZEL
"Elvis"
(Ken Block)

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
