[Verse 1: Florence Welch]
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 Hotel Room
But I Think The King Would Have Understood
Why I Never Made It To Graceland
The Bathroom Towels Were Cool Against My Head
I Pressed My Forehead To The Floor
And Prayed For A Trapdoor
I've Been Here Many Times Before
But I've Never Made It To Graceland
[Chorus: Florence Welch]
And If I Make It To The Morning
I Should've Come With A Warning
And If I Make It To The Stage
I'll Show You What It Means
To Be Sad
[Verse 2: Florence Welch]
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'll Get The Next Flight
And I'll See You All With Elvis
If I Don't Survive The Night
[Chorus: Florence Welch]
If I Make It To The Morning
I Should've Come With A Warning
And If I Make It To The Stage
I'll Show You What It Means
To Be Sad
[Bridge: Florence Welch]
And If They'd Ever Tore Us Where I Quit
It's All The Boys Now, This Is It
But The Calm, It Always Comes
In The Songs Like Children
Begging To Be Born
But, Oh! I Guess I Got My Wish
Anything, Anything, Anything But This
[Chorus: Florence Welch]
If I Make It To The Morning
I Should've Come With A Warning
But If I Make It To The Stage
I'll Show You What It Means
To Be Sad
Oh! 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
