Fratellis, The - I'm Gonna Be Your Elvis Lyrics
Well I never thought of myself as a subtle kind of man
I dreamed I was alive one time before the world began
And every time I walk the street my troubles drag my heels
I could not pretend that I wasn't lost in how it feels
I'm gonna be your Steve McQueen
I was dead long before I was born, my mother did proclaim
Send him back to Jesus, tell him I was not to blame
Well well well tell me how can I refuse
When every angel left in heaven bet that I would lose
The sound of frozen bells and horns was all that I could hear
And every word that I ignored was ringing in my ear
I could not pretend that I was even half amused
I'm gonna be your Elvis
I'm gonna be your Steve McQueen
I'm gonna be the man you could not dream
Well I shaked out right on down the road til no one knew my name
The future came and went so fast I almost bet the same
I slept a guilty sleep for seven years I was a ghost
Of everyone I ever loved I loved myself the most
When everyone was breaking up I was breaking down
I kept myself amused in high heeled shoes and sequin gowns
Those voices on the radio, they all just made me numb
So I covered up my ears with bandages and bubble gum
And I boarded up the windows and I denied that I was me
I sold my brains for science and my soul for security
Now I'm a walking shadow of the fool I used to be
I heard they held my funeral and there was no one there but me
I'm gonna be your Elvis
I'm gonna be your Steve McQueen
I'm gonna be your terrorist
I'm gonna be your Steve McQueen
I'm gonna be the man you could not dream
The man you could not dream
The man you could not dream
The man you could not dream
The man you could not dream
