Tabloids scream Elvis seen at a shopping mall That's the kind of talk That makes my stomach crawl Picture a zombie Elvis In a tacky white jump suit Just imagine a rotting Elvis Shopping for fresh fruit You can't 'cause Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead Elvis is dead When the king died He was all alone I heard that when he died He was sitting on his throne Alas poor Elvis They made us know you well Now you dwell forever In the Heartbreak Hotel Elvis was a hero to most But that's beside the point A Black man taught him how to sing And then he was crowned king The pelvis of Elvis Too dangerous for the masses They cleaned him up and sent him to Vegas Now the masses are his slave Slave? Slave Yes, even from the grave Elvis is dead I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland I've got a reason to believe We all won't be received at Graceland

There's a lead-fed silence in the air all around I can't take it any more It's a rip-trip hammer and I'm feeling the sound I never felt it before I'm a dazed-crazed victim of a tragic mistake Girl, we can not go on With this tear-fear tremor of a major earthquake I Just try to hang on Chorus: Loving you is killing me It's life or death, girl, can't you see So if you love me then set me free Let go, let love, let live There's a rag-tag army fighting inside my brain A-bomb is bound to blow It's a worn-torn tremor of emotional rain Someone's just got to say no In the mud-flood battle of raw nerves of steel Mine have just melted down And the tense-fence guarding me from all that I feel I just collapsed to the ground Chorus It's the non-stop pressure of a lifetime with you I've just got to unload There's no quick-fix solution anyone can do My head is ripe to explode It's a mad-bad feeling and there's no way out No one's going to reform It's a rough-tough tremor and it's got me worn out I'm like leaf in a storm Chorus Let it go, let it flow

Oh... One, two, three, four We're separated by a margin of a greater degree The same flesh and blood, but in a different lane I've read the remedy too But my words, they still sounded the same When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun (oh) We flew into the sun I'm dedicated to the shadow that's been following me It caught me counting the cards, I guess the rules remain Oh, it was heavenly then But the devils were calling my name When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun Is there something in your eye? Did you fall, or were you just on a high? Everybody's so afraid they could die But they never once said, "Thank God we're alive" (oh) Is there something in your eye? Did you fall, or were you just on a high? Everybody's so afraid they could die But they never once said, "Thank God we're alive" When we were young We thought we had the whole world figured out We flew into the sun We thought we had the whole world figured out Now all we do is speak in tongues We play a losing game Only now we hear the shouts fading out We flew into the sun
