Elvis Went to Hollywood - Counting Crows Intro - Chords x2 VERSE 1 November promises it seems Broken February dreams That don’t come true But do 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 she stays the same And we’re always changing CHORUS 1 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 And the news it read the future’s dead When Elvis went to Hollywood That’s when…. [STOP] No chords Everything went wrong VERSE 2 So long goodbye The taste of wedding cakes The sound of nursery rhymes The ghost of Fredericksburg Of Alex Chilton 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 CHORUS 2 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 And the future said the news is dead When Elvis went to Hollywood That’s when…. [STOP] No chords Everything went wrong SOLO / BRIDGE x2 x2 VERSE 3 The god of man proclaimed The last evacuation of a dream. The gospel screamed A song of movie stars And girlie magazines The spaceman too From somewhere far away You have to say it’s strange We wait in vain The rocket’s came and now we’re fading CHORUS 3 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 And the paper’s said the king is dead When Elvis went to Hollywood That’s when…. [STOP] No chords Everything went wrong x 4 End on extended

À propos de la chanson

La chanson explore la nostalgie et la désillusion à travers des souvenirs fragmentés. Elle évoque le passage des rêves d'enfance et les promesses non tenues, juxtaposition de moments heureux et de l'angoisse de l'avenir. Les paroles mettent en lumière des éléments culturels, comme les fantômes du passé et des figures emblématiques, en soulignant un monde en déclin, où le rêve semble s'éteindre. Dans un contexte plus large, on peut ressentir une critique des illusions de la célébrité et de l'impact du temps sur nos aspirations. Les références à des événements culturels et historiques ajoutent une profondeur à cette réflexion sur la transformation et la perte, exprimant un sentiment d'impuissance face à un futur incertain.
