Elvis Song Lyrics - Funstyle - Liz Phair

Everyone's talking 'bout Elvis 

'Cause it seems like the thing that we do 

Elvis is walking around listlessly 

Seems he can't even die if he wanted to 

It's a bad business to be in 

You don't get thanked and you don't get paid 

It's a hard world to be in with 

And to end with, and to think about leaving behind 

Exhuming the body in Memphis 

Waiting five hours to get into Graceland 

Is this anybody's idea 

Of a good time or a good joke? 

Airport biographies are usually true 

Fame and fortune took its' toll 

He's not the king of rock and roll anymore 

He's just a junkie redneck 

Pull a sheet over your head 

Fold your arms across your chest 

Lie back in bed 

You can call folks constantly tomorrow 

Oh, oh, everyone's talking 'bout Elvis 

'Cause it seems like a thing that we do 

Elvis is living too fat and slow now to care 

What we say about him 

Picking up hitchhiking Elvis's 

Christening babies at the foot of his grave 

He was watching TV and laughing to himself 

He just had to tell someone how he did it 

Elvis, be good to me 

Elvis, be true 

Elvis, I love you 

Elvis, be true 

Elvis, be near me 

Elvis, be mine 

Elvis, come back to me 

Please, Elvis, be fine 

Everything's coming up 

Roses 

Everything's coming up 

Elvis 

Everything's coming up 

Roses 

Everything's coming up 

Elvis 

Elvis 

Elvis 

Elvis, be true
