John Wesley Harding - Elvis Has Just left The Building lyrics
Your rating:
In this house, there are many many mansions And a tower in desperate need of a spire And a million little churches for all denominations Better get good advice, if you're a first time buyer The ghosts around here, well, they are big business They're union so they only come out at night But they'll scare you half to death when you are sleeping So please remember when you turn out the lights Please clear off the floor Your tickets just aren't valid anymore Cos Elvis, Elvis has left the building It was just one small step for humanity But it took him half an hour to cross the floor And the little girls scream and turn into their mothers Who got much more respect before the war Used to be the world would take our cues from one another Now just one man can tear the world in half Some idiot's cracking jokes that he will never understand About how he hates gays and everybody laughs Please clear off the floor That joke just isn't funny anymore Cos Elvis, Elvis has left the building Elvis, Elvis has left the building Aloha Earth, This is Elvis calling You'll find me in the big house now I'm gone but I've not forgotten I've joined the order I've taken vows I didn't like what I saw down there anyhow Now everyone wants to see the clocks turned backwards To when men were men and women cooked their meals When you could only sing on tv from the waist up, (But you could do it live) Well I'm 25 and I don't know how that feels So me and my friends we decide to have a party But the outside world crashes and it gets so unreal Cos each of us is a fragment with a million little centres Soon someone will discover the wheel Please clear off the floor Your tickets just aren't valid anymore Cos Elvis, Elvis has left the building
