Married By Elvis

Barlow

There's a real cool couple living on my street

They smile and wave every time we meet

They've been together for the past five years

They're perfectly happy and perfectly queer

Its not a Brady Bunch episode

They're not the Cunninghams its not the Cosby Show

That black and white world didn't ever exist

Who says a family needs a mister and miss



They've got a dream

Picture the scene



They want to drive down to Vegas

Get married by Elvis

Get drunk on champagne and get legally laid

They'll cherish the kisses

As missus and missus

Now is that so terribly strange

Ain't it strange



"Give it a one one twenty in a Cadillac boom boom boom and me neva look back"



Now it's a long, long way out of Buffalo

Thay've got the Dom on ice and a slice to go

In a top down Caddy in the desert breeze

Romeo and Juliet meet Thelma and Louise

They've got the radio, they've got one CD

Top 40 and some old Lou Reed



They got caffeine and gasoline

It's the Great Escape starring Jean McQueen

I think tonight

They'll both wear white



They want to drive down to Vegas

Get married by Elvis

Get drunk on champagne and get legally laid

They'll cherish the kisses

As missus and missus

Now is that so terribly strange

Ain't it strange
