John Wesley Harding - Elvis Has Just Left The Building Lyrics
In this house, there are many many mansionsAnd a tower in desperate need of a spireAnd a million little churches for all denominationsBetter get good advice, if youre a first time buyerThe ghosts around here, well, they are big businessTheyre union so they only come out at nightBut theyll scare you half to death when you are sleepingSo please remember when you turn out the lightsPlease clear off the floorYour tickets just arent valid anymoreCos elvis, elvis has left the buildingIt was just one small step for humanityBut it took him half an hour to cross the floorAnd the little girls scream and turn into their mothersWho got much more respect before the warUsed to be the world would take our cues from one anotherNow just one man can tear the world in halfSome idiots cracking jokes that he will never understandAbout how he hates gays and everybody laughsPlease clear off the floorThat joke just isnt funny anymoreCos elvis, elvis has left the buildingElvis, elvis has left the buildingAloha earth, this is elvis callingYoull find me in the big house nowIm gone but Ive not forgottenIve joined the orderIve taken vowsI didnt like what I saw down there anyhowNow everyone wants to see the clocks turned backwardsTo when men were men and women cooked their mealsWhen you could only sing on tv from the waist up,(but you could do it live)Well Im 25 and I dont know how that feelsSo me and my friends we decide to have a partyBut the outside world crashes and it gets so unrealCos each of us is a fragment with a million little centresSoon someone will discover the wheelPlease clear off the floorYour tickets just arent valid anymoreCos elvis, elvis has left the building
