Lyrics

Memphis

I'll take you to the place

If you really want to go, oh, oh

I'll take you to the place I rest in peace

See, I died so long ago

I just didn't want to go, oh, oh

I'm a ghost in this guilt-ridden body

And I have so much to tell

If you really want to know, oh, oh

I could show you the hidden dimension

Just put that record on

And relax your thoughts

You don't have to be afraid of [?]
