lyrics

Orson Elvis

Every hit online takes its toll in time
Time you don’t get back, running with the pack
Miracles agree: what we really need
Takes us off the grid, back to where we live

I grew up in Connecticut. You still have family in Rockland County?
But still, it’s in the middle of suburbia.
In the summer of every weekend.
The nicest part of the ride.

If Hollywood instinct is right on the money
And corporate welfare makes everything funny
Than Orson Elvis is dead online

Dead online, nowhere to go
What we have is what we show

Every hit online takes its toll in time
Time you don’t get back, running with the pack
Miracles agree: what we really need
Takes us off the grid, back to where we live

People go fishing; I see what you mean.
I live in a non-profit version of that.
The volunteers. I want to appreciate their work.

If Hollywood instinct is right on the money
And corporate welfare makes everything funny
Than Orson Elvis is dead online

Dead online, nowhere to go
What we have is what we show

Every hit online takes its toll in time
Time you don’t get back, running with the pack
Miracles agree: what we really need
Takes us off the grid, back to where we live
