Memphis

Memphis - where the hell is memphis?

Memphis - where the hell is memphis?



I got to get away, study my geography

I used to see the light, now it's all a mystery

I used to feel the beat, now i feel a million miles from...



Memphis - where the hell is memphis?

Memphis - where the hell is memphis?
