Elvis Is Back In The Building Lyrics - David Gray

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as he grew OLD and outdated 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As he grew old and outdated 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
