 She was lying on the floor and counting stretch marks 
She hadn't been a virgin and he hadn't been a god 
So she names the baby elvis 
To make up for the royalty he lacked 
And from then on it was turpentine and patches 
From then on it was cold campbell's from the can 
And they were just two jerks playing with matches 
Cause that's all they knew how to play 
And it was raining cats and dogs out side of her window 
And she knew they were destined to become 
Sacred road kill on the way 
And she was listening to the sound of heavens shaking 
Thinking about puddles, puddles and mistakes 
Cause it's been turpentine and patches 
It's been cold, cold campbell's from the can 
And they were just two jerks playing with matches 
Cause that's all they knew how to play 
Elvis never could carry a tune 
She thought about this irony as she stared back at the moon 
She was tracing her years with her fingers on her skin 
Saying why don't I begin again 
With turpentine and patches 
With cold, cold campbell's from the can 
After all I'm still a jerk playing with matches 
It's just that he's not around to play along 
I'm still an ass hole playing with candles 
Blowing out wishes blowing out dreams 
Just sitting here and trying to decipher 
What's written in braille upon my skin...
