Elvis Decanter Lyrics - The Vandals

Collecting dust inside that liquor store 'till you bought it for me 

A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the King 

The more I drank from it the less I saw of you 

That bottle's empty now and you and I are through 

When you gave me the King of gifts I didn't know what to say 

Except a hundred and fifty dollars in an awful lot to pay 

For a girl like you who doesn't make much money, anyway 

But you cared enough to put away a little everyday 

For that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me 

A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King 

If I had made it last or filled it up would it have changed a thing? 

It's just an Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me 

They told me I should save it, it'd be worth something 

Someday 

But me I couldn't wait and the King of Rock got lighter everyday 

Soon it was half empty and I was half as close to you 

Then I drank the rest, and should've guessed I drank our love in two 

Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me 

In the name of Elvis, why did you have to leave? 

When I love you and I need you desperately tonite
