lyrics

Elvis died on his throne
Being the king couldn't have
Hurt his image much
He was left brained and
Handed Elvis was haunted by
His dead brother who he spoke
To when he was depressed by
Life shakin' and swivlin' across
The stage tender, sweet, just
Love me he made corny movies,
Singing love songs to
Beautiful women who were
Crazy about him pelvis thrust
The camera won't show, the
Action of your hips from the
Waist below rhinestones dazzle
And boots and buckles bewilder
Even the lesser fad of the pelvis
Thrusting master congratulations,
You are the king - worship the dead -
You still reign love me tender,
Love me true, blue Hawaii, your fans
Miss you sideburns, pills booze,
Low budget movies, the king's
Lifestyle Elvis was almost bigger
Than life women swooned him men
Thought he was obscene Elvis didn't
Like either reaction he was searching
For the love that he gave everyone
The quick fame Elvis acquired took
Its toll on his life, involving him in
Booze and drugs that eventually
Killed him I remember the day your
Death was announced watching T.V.
Words walking across the bottom of
The screen telling the world you were
Gone indigo, you go, I go, we all go
And Elvis was just a man who was left
All alone
