Elvis Has Just Left The Building Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

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
