Sleeping In Graceland by Exit Verse Lyrics

Got the itch out
On Bryn Mawr and Broadway
Kicked out of his SRO
Thrice been snitched on
Had to fix the hard way
But his man just never showed

I've seen the fury
Rocket from his body
Like a speeding subway car
Cop told the jury
It flew out of his pocket
Strewn across the boulevard
Across the boulevard

They spent half a Tuesday
Looking for a body
Creepin' 'round halfway 'till dawn
East of Ashland?
Asleep in Graceland?
Dead behind the Aragon?
Leave him alone
He's not ready
Promise to keep it free and clean, yeah
Come home
Find a steady
You just need someone to lean on

That sweet girl Tammy
The one who's always late
Always sleeping on the Coke machine
Back from Miami
She swears to God she's straight
But she still keeps it in her jeans

Leave her alone
She's not ready
Promise to keep it free and clean, yeah
Come home
Find a steady
You just need someone to cream on
You just need someone to lean on

I head the rumors
She's buried in the brambles
Interred where she used to rest
When they exhume her
I want to see the body
Splinters hanging off her dress
Leave her alone
She's not ready
Promise to keep it free and clean, yeah
Come home
Find a steady
You just need someone to bleed on
You just need someone to lean on
