I Can See Elvis

I Can See Elvis - The Waterboys (水孩子)

I can see Elvis

Skinny like he was back in fifty-seven

Razor-quiffed and leather-squeezed

Sideburns flickering in the breeze

That blows across the vales of heaven

I can see elvis

Throned like a king astride a golden harley

Smoking a ** he just rolled

Full of acapulco gold

With hendrix jimi bob marley

I can see elvis

Prowling like a cat across a funky bandstand

Keith moon behind him banging drums

Charlie parker all thumbs

John lennon doing handstands

I can see elvis

Talking philosophy and law with joan of arc and plato

Quizzing shakespeare on his plays

Showing crazy horse and marvin gaye

How to dance the mashed potato

I can see elvis

High and low and high and low and high he's hunting

Looking for a special prey

Who one we just arrived up here today

Break out the bunting

I can see elvis

He's writing something down in a little leather journal

And here are all the words he wrote

I am gonna slit the throat

Of that skinflint the colonel

I can see elvis

I can see elvis

I can see elvis

I can see elvis

I can see elvis

I can see elvis
