The New Pornographers - Graceland lyrics

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 circuit's 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
