Lyrics
Walking into heaven like the brand new Elvis
Expressing confidence and charisma, entering a positive or desirable situation akin to Elvis Presley's iconic presence.
A suited and booted clean American made machine Cold skin, stolen keys, gravel track and bare knees I'm going where they won't find me
Describing a stylish and powerful journey with a stolen car, suggesting a desire for escape or freedom.
And I can feel them getting closer
Sensing an approaching threat or danger.
Closer
Emphasizing the imminent danger or presence of something unwanted.
And I can feel them getting closer
Reiterating the increasing proximity of the perceived threat or danger.
Hanging all my prayers up on the power lines
Depicting a ritual of seeking divine intervention or guidance, using power lines as a metaphor for communication.
And they're lighting up the city like the National Grid Hotel, motel, ringing like a sleigh bell
Highlighting the widespread impact of the prayers, creating a vivid image of illumination and sound.
I'm going where they won't find me
Continuing the theme of seeking refuge or escape.
And I can feel them getting closer
Repeating the awareness of an impending threat, possibly intensifying.
Closer
Emphasizing the increasing immediacy of the approaching danger.
And I can feel them getting closer
Reiterating the heightened sense of threat or danger.
Queen and me are waiting for the changing of the guards
Waiting for a significant change or shift, possibly with a companion (Queen).
And they're rigging all the racquets down on Sunset Boulevard Cold sweat, jet-set, feeling like a death threat
Describing activities on Sunset Boulevard, suggesting a glamorous yet potentially treacherous environment.
I'm going where they won't find me
Continuing the theme of seeking refuge or escape in the face of perceived danger.
And I can feel them getting closer
Reiterating the awareness of an impending threat, possibly becoming more intense.
Closer
Emphasizing the increasing immediacy of the approaching danger.
And I can feel them getting closer
Reiterating the heightened sense of threat or danger, potentially reaching a critical point.
