    Verse 1
    was 
    running 
    fast 
    in 
    I -61, 

    maybe 
    three 
    hours 
    outside 

    of 
    Memphis, 

    making 
    good 
    time 
    and 
    driving 
    smooth, 

    on 
    course 
    for the Elvis 
    Presley 

    souvenir 
    shopping 
    mall 
    and 
    pharmacy. 

    Even 
    though 
    it was only 
    51 
    Hudson, 


    it was running 
    like 
    dream, 

    and about the 
    only 
    thing 
    that 

    stopped it 
    being 
    a perfect 
    day 

    was 
    I couldn't 
    get anything 
    on 
    the radio 

    but 
    Bobby 
    Rydell 
    Howard 
    Stern 
    or 
    Oral 
    Roberts, 


    who was threatened 
    to 
    strike 
    me dead 

    if 
    I didn't send 
    him 
    money. 

    All 
    in 
    all, 
    though, I was 

    feeling 
    pretty 
    good, 

    which 
    made it 
    come as 

    something of 
    a major 
    surprise 

    that 
    I never 
    made 
    it 
    to 
    Memphis. 

    It 
    was 
    probably 
    my 
    own 
    fault. 

    should never 
    have 
    taken 

    those 
    pills 

    that were offered 
    to me 
    in the men's 
    room 

    by 
    a Mexican 
    in 
    a lime 
    green 

    matador 
    suit 

    that not even 
    Prince 

    would have 
    the 
    gold to 
    wear. 

    was in 
    this 
    Denny's 
    along 
    the 
    way. 

    I'd only 
    pulled 
    in 
    for a 
    cup of 
    coffee 

    and a 
    pack of 
    cigarettes 

    and 
    some 
    Jim Thompson 
    fantasy 

    about 
    the 
    waitress. 

    Never 
    stopped 
    place 

    that only 
    serves 
    non 
    -alcoholic 
    beer. 

    Moosey, 
    Den, 
    Moosey, 
    Den, 
    Jack. 

    Now, 
    Mexican 
    wanted 
    five 

    bucks 
    pop 

    for these 
    suckers. 

    Maybe 
    I shouldn't 
    have taken 
    ten, 

    but I was 
    in the 
    mood for 

    conspicuous 
    consumption, 

    and 
    the ghost 
    of 
    Elvis 
    was 

    at 
    my 
    shoulder. 

    I should 
    have suspected 

    that something 
    was 
    up 

    when the Mexican 
    made 
    a secret 

    hand 
    signal 
    and 
    vanished. 

    Carlos 
    Castaneda 
    comes 

    in all 
    shapes 
    and 
    sizes. 

    Even 
    then, 
    though, 
    there 
    in 
    the men's 
    room, 

    never 
    thought 
    that I 
    wouldn't 

    make 
    it 
    to 
    Memphis. 

    guess 
    it already 
    started 

    with the 
    flickerings 

    at the 
    corners 
    of my 
    eyes 

    that I 
    dismissed 
    at 
    the time 

    as 
    being 
    result 
    of not 
    having slept 

    for 
    48 
    hours 
    straight. 

    The 
    bats 
    came 
    later. 

    At 
    first 
    they were 
    content to 
    loiter 

    in 
    the periphery 
    of my 
    vision, 

    but 
    after 
    while 
    they 
    got 
    real 
    bold 

    and 
    started 
    flying 
    alongside 

    the 
    car 
    in formation, 

    like 
    they were 
    on their way 
    to bomb 
    Dresden. 

    It 
    really 
    got bad 

    when 
    I was going 
    down this 

    slight 
    incline. 

    There 
    wasn't 
    another car 
    in 
    sight. 

    Then 
    I ran 
    into 
    this waist 
    -deep, 

    hammer 
    horror 

    Edgar 
    Allan 
    Poe 
    missed. 

    And I 
    began to 
    realize 

    that 
    I wasn't 
    going 
    to 

    make 
    it 
    to 
    Memphis. 

    Now, 
    after I 
    hit the 
    mist, 

    all 
    I can get 
    on the 
    radio 

    is 
    this angelic 
    choir, 

    an
    the signs 
    are 
    written in 
    Hittite, 

    and at 
    any moment 
    Rod 
    Serling 
    is 
    going to come 

    march
    ing through 
    the 
    wind
    shield 

    and 
    offer me 
    for your 
    consideration. 

    Oh, 
    God, 
    oh, 
    Graceland, 

    am I 
    in a lot 
    of trouble. 

    have 
    lost 
    all 
    sense 
    of motion 

    and my 
    hands 
    are turning 
    blue. 

    And 
    there's 
    definitely 
    something 
    wrong 

    with 
    space 
    and 
    time. 

    And 
    the 
    Hudson 
    has 
    started 
    to 
    glow. 

    Oh 
    shit! 
    Here 
    comes 
    the 
    monolith! 

    What 
    did 
    do to 
    finish 
    up 
    here? 

    Some 
    post 
    -Einstein 
    zombie 

    flying 
    Dutchman 
    in 
    a wormhole 

    can't 
    get 
    out 
    of 

    because 
    in 
    here 
    there's 

    no 
    concept 
    of 
    out. 

    Life's 
    bitch 
    and 
    then you're 
    infinite 

    and 
    I never 
    made 
    it 
    to 
    Memphis. 

    never 
    made 
    it 
    to 
    Memphis. 

    You 
    hear 
    me? 

    never 
    made 
    it 
    to 
    Memphis. 

    never 
    made 
    it 
    to 
    Memphis. 

    never 
    made 
    it 
    to 
    Memphis. 

    We 
    I'm 
    sorry

    I'm 
    sorry. 
    sorry. 
    sorry. 

    Because... 
    ...tell 
    you 
    what, 

    that's 
    what 
    you 
    were meant 
    to 
    be.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      "

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
