Elvis Went To Hollywood Lyrics - Somewhere Under Wonderland - Counting Crows

November promises it seems, 

Of broken February dreams 

That don't come true 

Until you remember me 

I don't remember you. 

Were you the one who liked to sing? 

Or just some other one. 

It's strange how hate remains and stays 

The same and we're always changing. 

We are driving on the ceiling 

There are aliens on motorcycles 

Riding in the radio 

While we destroy the world 

I said, oh oh, oh no no 

The news is read, the future's dead, 

When Elvis went to Hollywood 

That's when everything went wrong. 

So long goodbye, 

It tastes of wedding cakes 

And the sound of nursey rhymes 

The ghosts of Roderick, 

Of Alex Chilten, of Victor Frankenstein 

The girl you always loved 

The one you have no memory of 

It's strange how hate remains 

She prayed for rain on the invasion 

We are driving on the ceiling 

There are aliens on motorcycles 

Hiding in the radio, 

While we devour the world 

I said oh oh, oh no no 

The future said, the news is dead 

When Elvis went to Hollywood 

That's when everything went wrong. 

The god of Maine proclaims 

The last evacuation of a dream 

The gospel screams the sock of movie stars 

And girly magazines 

Spacemen too, from somewhere far away 

You have to say it's strange we prayed in vain, 

The rockets came and now we're fading. 

We are hiding on the ceiling 

There are aliens on motorcycles 

Riding from the radio, while they destroy the world. 

I said oh oh, oh no no 

The paper said, the King is dead 

When Elvis went to Hollywood, 

That's when everything went wrong.
