Liz Phair - Elvis Song lyrics

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 the sheet over your head Fold your arms across your chest Lie back in bed, you can call folks constantly tomorrow Ohhh, 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 Elvises Christening babies at the foot of his grave He was watching TV and laughing to himself 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 Elvis, be true
