Pretend I’m Elvis (For Just One Night)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You're a little long in the tooth, babe And 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 and dingy bars To the alcohol haze and the smoke And the chance to reinvent ourselves Hey baby, let's go for broke [Chorus] And pretend I'm Elvis for just one night I will call you Priscilla, if that's all right Don't we look sorta like 'em in the neon light? Would you pretend I'm Elvis, darling For just one night? [Verse 2] Now it's one a.m., and we follow the band Down a dead-end 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 [Chorus] Just pretend I'm Elvis for just one night I will call you Priscilla, if that's all right Don't we look sorta like 'em in the neon light? Would you pretend I'm Elvis, darling For just one night? [Bridge] 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 [Verse 3] We all need God's redemption, honey Tonight Graceland is a bar And even if I can'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 [Chorus] And pretend I'm Elvis for just one night I will call you Priscilla, if that's all right Don't we look sorta like 'em in the neon light? Would you pretend I'm Elvis, darling For just one night? Would you pretend I'm Elvis, darling For just one night? [Outro: Gene Eugene] Should we keep playing? A little tag like that, but not that
