Elvis Presley Boulevard (Trapper Chris)

The movie theatre’s closing down in Memphis While a blues band’s burning up the stage across town The street lamps hang like saviours from their crosses While the losers throw their scratch tickets on the ground As the moon shines down on Elvis Presley Boulevard And the tourists trapped with the cameras in their hands Who would have ever realized that such a short drive could seem so far When you’re a sucker searching for the promised land The casino manager lost the farm in Vegas Cocaine charges sent from the D.A. He blamed it on the lack of entertainment He said he’d never lose his shirt that way You can bet your life the most dangerous drugs are legal And some doctors will feed you death straight from their hands So even if you’re loved by fifty million people There’s not one of them gonna be there where you land Seen a white limousine on Elvis Presley Boulevard
