Songtext zu ' Graceland ' von The New Pornographers

Countdown to zero, to zero
I am listening
Through the walls, not at all
What I thought I was missing

In my case there is something in the will to escape life at last
As we ride into the sun safe we burst into flames
I don't know, I don't know how you missed us
Rolling by, rolling by like the three ghosts of Christmas
In my life this will happen to a boy every time, the perfect crime
Which as everybody knows pays just fine

So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even

Lights out and the first of your circuits is broken
Tell the post, good to go, set it, give into motion
In my life this will happen to a boy every time
The perfect crime which everybody knows pays just fine

So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even

So pay my way into Graceland
To Graceland
Pay my way into Graceland
We're even, we're even
