Ivy puts down the ghost story she's reading
Everyone dreams of him just as they can
In a certain way he seemed like Jesus
She talks like the beauty that she never was
She knows for sure Vivian is lying
Shot in the back 'cause orders were misleading
In a certain light he looked like Elvis
I want to be your delivery man
When they let me out I had a brand new identity
In a certain light he looked like Elvis
Thinking about how her father lay bleeding
But he's only the humble delivery man
In a certain way he feels like Jesus
And he'd seen all the local girls who were worth kissing
How a flag and a medal don't have any meaning
In a certain way he seemed like Jesus
On the 5th of July as they tore down the fair
They noticed that Abel and Ivy were missing
The cigarette ashes that Vivian scatters
While the gossip within her competes with the widow
Now everyone dreams of me just as they can
But she just wouldn't trust that delivery man
In a certain light he looked like Elvis
In a certain light he looked like Elvis
Now she has a daughter to raise as she can
Geraldine blushes and brushes away
Looks up at that face on the wall
Stares out of the window at the things that she says
In a certain light he looked like Elvis
Of the fabulous wild nights that she never has
Ever since he's gone, she feels like crying all the time
In a certain way he seemed like Jesus
He said "Why can't you be kind to me like you were meant to be?"
With the smell of the gunpowder still in the air
