Lyrics

Elvis
(Richey)

I’ve bled for the red-head who left me in Memphis
The fumes in her room made reality senseless
But why should I care, life isn’t fair, it goes on & on

I’m strung up and hung up, as she’s running faster
Oh Freud would avoid such a total disaster
My mind’s getting soft, I’m much better off, this drags on & on

But I’m crumbling away in this cookie cut world,
Would it make any difference at all?

If I sang like Elvis, would you love me tender and think I’m cool?
If I sang like Elvis, I’m all shook up, honey don’t be cruel

I test-drive your bee-hive, and fumbled and punted
You got what you want, but you don’t really want it
It’s never too late, Graceland awaits, honey you & I

Please tell me dear are you lonesome tonight
Check me out of this heartbreak hotel

If I sang like Elvis, in Viva Las Vegas, and scored some drugs
If I sang like Elvis, would you want a hunk of my burning love?

I’m flying down 40, distorting the truth, wearing
My blue suede shoes in this pink Cadillac
You are my queen, so hold on, the king’s coming back

(Break – Solo – Chorus X2)
