You're a little long in the tooth, babe,
Me, I'm puffy and under the weather,
But the drunker I get...that band gets tight,
And honey, you're looking better,
So, here's to dim lights in dingy bars, to the alcohol haze and the smoke,
And the chance to reinvent ourselves,
Hey baby, let's go for broke.
And pretend I'm Elvis, for just one night,
I will call you Priscilla, if that's alright,
Hey, don't we look sorta like 'em in the neon light?
Could you pretend I'm Elvis, darling, for just one night?
Now it's one a.m., and we follow the band down a dead and lonely street,
Here's a song about our destiny, how we were meant to meet,
So drink up, honey, and wrap me in good looks, fortune and fame,
I don't need to know who you really are,
You don't need to know my name.
Just pretend I'm Elvis, for just one night,
I will call you Priscilla, if that's alright,
And don't we look sorta like 'em in the neon light?
Could you pretend I'm Elvis, darling, for just one night?
Two more drinks, and that cab outside will become a limo,
You and me, we gotta hang on tight to this fragile spell,
But girl, it ain't easy, and I get queasy as hell,
Looking at a map where every road leads back to my room at the Heartbreak Hotel.
We all need God's redemption, honey,
Tonight, Graceland is a bar,
And even if I don't sing too good, or play the guitar,
I think I could love you tender, treat you like a queen,
We can work a little magic if you imagine I'm the king.
And pretend I'm Elvis, for just one night,
I will call you Priscilla, if that's alright,
Don't we look sorta like 'em in the neon light?
Could you pretend I'm Elvis, darling, for just one night?
Could you pretend I'm Elvis, darling, for just one night?
