Are you an old hippie, sir? 
Are you an old hippie, sir? 
I sense you must have been around 
Your painted wings have left the ground 
A few times 

Are you an old hippie, sir? 
Are you an old hippie, sir? 
You hit that guitar pretty well 
And all those words really gel 
I can tell 
Can I lay down some harmony? 
Can I lay down some harmony? 
Can I lay down some harmony?

I ran into this girl 
born into this world 
as Double-headed Elvis 
Double-headed Elvis 

While I was wondering why 
one smiled one kissed me goodbye 
Double-headed Elvis 
Double-headed Elvis 

I'm sorry but that's all there is

I'm sorry but that's all there is 
I'm sorry but that's all there is 

Double-headed Elvis

there's something in the air 
there is something in the system 
i can't sleep or stay awake 
it's far beyond my wisdom 

and I really get so high 
i can't get you off my my my mind 
this has to be a sign 
a sign of the times 

mind a little tenderness 
i'm empty and so hollow 
i swear to god 
i can see your face upon my pillow 

and I really get so high 
i can't get you off my my my mind 
this has to be a sign 
a sign of the times 

and i 
i'm thinkin' day and night 
how to make it right 
cos i wanna be inside 
so deep inside your mind 
so deep inside your mind

speed kills… 
speed kills… 
but you wanna go anyway 
speed kills… 
speed kills… 
you wanna do it do it anyway 

and when you've reached Havana 
it's time to call Jo-Anna 
she's says you'll never be the one 
so you're still on the run 
still on the run 

speed kills… 
speed kills… 
but you wanna go anyway 
speed kills… 
speed kills… 
do it do it do it do it anyway 

she says you'll never be the one 
so you're still on the run 
still on the run 
still on the run

we keep a hideaway 
a holy place to go to 
oh put them on we love to move along 
we got them records 
i'm happy you could join too 
oh put them on we love to sing along 
all the good years 
you've saved inside a can 
are on the jukebox 
just around the bend 
and if you like it and you have another dime to spend 
come back tomorrow and we do it again 

hey it's saturday night 
and i'm the lucky one 
oh put them on we love to move along 
we got them records 
hey baby, check that yellow one 
oh put it on we love to sing along 
i love your dress 
i'd love to be your friend 
jump in my car 
it's big enough for ten 
and if you like it and you have a little time to spend 
come back tomorrow and we do it again
