David Gray - Elvis Is Back In The Building lyrics
Your rating:
A man of modest beginnings had the nerve to try to change the world Fought like a lion even though he was cryin' in a sea of deep despair tried to hide the energy tried to hide the light afraid of being turned in grappling with his nerves a mind working at the speed of lightening a man with a heart of gold just tryin' to do the right thing bringing joy to countless thousands and what did we do to him? as he grew OLD and outdated we did something utterly APPALLING! made him out to be a caricature nothing more than a joke treated him like T R A S H As he grew old and outdated And, yes, we did the same thing to marilyn I WANT THEM TO KNOW That what we did was so very wrong We TORE out their hearts out When they gave us so much I want them to know that we are so VERY SORRY About what WE did I will say a prayer for THEM I want them to know THAT OUR HATS ARE OFF TO THEM ! because they were such a generous souls such good hearts I suspect that their G H O S T s are still with us and that they will soon RISE AGAIN to sing another day to sing another day to sing another day In a mind-blowing EARTH-shattering way Because good souls never die Good spirits NEVER DIE Believe me when i say Elvis is BACK in the building BABY Elvis is BACK in the building BABY Elvis is BACK in the building BABY isobel & Elizabeth
