Singing with The King Lyrics
Don't take another day away from me
Cause I don't got many as it stands
Here on the rooftop screaming like the world stopped
Another cigarette for both of us hold my hand
I'll take us both to the top of the world if I can
Cause mama it's ok, tonight I'm going to sing with Elvis
And we will sing, a couple songs just for your ears so sing along and hey
If I go down in the quicksand don't grab my hand
Just play me as loud as you can
Cause tonight I singing with
And daddy's sitting in the corner with Cash when Mr. Moon picks up the beat
I hear the sound of someone warming the Strat while they wait for me
And Freddie says that I can stay, that I don't have to be afraid this time
The angels filling up the place and Carly's walking she's the first in line
Cause mama it's ok, tonight I'm going to sing with Elvis
And we will sing, a couple songs just for your ears so sing along and hey
If I go down in the quicksand don't grab my hand
Just play me as loud as you can
Cause tonight I singing with
Remember the days we thought we were golden and that all these nights were ours
Remember my face, remember the rooftops
Do you remember the stage, when all of it's broken not to show your favorite scars
A smile on your face, we'll count only our stars
Cause mama it's OK, tonight I'm going to sing with Elvis
And we will sing, a couple songs just for your ears so sing along and hey
If I go down in the quicksand don't grab my hand
Just play me as loud as you can
Cause tonight I singing with
Cause I don't got many as it stands
Here on the rooftop screaming like the world stopped
Another cigarette for both of us hold my hand
I'll take us both to the top of the world if I can
And we will sing, a couple songs just for your ears so sing along and hey
If I go down in the quicksand don't grab my hand

"ere's something really cool that I found out about the song when I first heard it.
In the lyrics I heard "The angels filling up the place and Carly's walking she's the first in line". So I asked Steve, who's Carly? I knew the others Moon, Cash, Freddie were musicians but didn't know who she was.
Steve told me she's Carly Driscoll and she was a friend and fan of the band.
I thought, wait why is she among the angels filling up the place? So of course I googled her and found out that she had suffered from cancer and ended up passing away September 9, 2010.
Carly Driscoll, 1991-2010: Music helped her 'hope and cope' with ra... Carly Anne Driscoll Obituary
For me it added a lot to the song. Putting an actual person to that name made it much more emotional. I actually got the chills the first time I heard the song again after I found all this new information out.
Maybe it'll do the same for you now that you know who Carly is too."
Quoted from James Kopacz, brother of Drummer Steve Kopacz. original post can be seen on the Go Radio Forums www.wearegoradio.com
It's cool that you found this. I was wondering who Carly was the first time I heard the song. Putting a story to the name definitely makes it more emotional. Every time I hear the line about Carly it makes me think of one of my friends who died from getting the flu two years ago, 2 months before he turned 16. It makes this song much more emotional and personal for me.

It was on the go radio forums, I'm one of the more active members, it's cool cause when they're not on tour or in the studio their Drummer Steve Kopacz is on all the time, ad he's even been on a few times while they're out on tour

Yeah I'm a member on there but I'm not super active on the forums, I read stuff sometimes but I have a feeling I'm gonna become more active on there in the near future. The new album sounds awesome and I'm stoked to get it tomorrow.
