elizabeth lafavre - elvis is back in the building lyrics
a man of modest beginnings
had the nerve to try
to change the world
fought like a lion
even though he was
cryin’ in a deep sea of despair
tried to hide the energy
tried to hide the light
afraid of being turned in
grappling with his stage fright
and nerves
a mind working at the speed of lightning
a man with a heart of gold
just tryin’ to do the right thing
brought countless joy to millions
and what did we do to him?
as he grew old and outdated
we did something utterly appalling!
made him out to be a caricature
nothing more than a joke
treated him likе t r a s h
as he grew old and outdated
and, yеs, we did the same thing
to m a r i l y n
such a sweet and innocent girl
discarded by her mother
and then by the world
comments on her rising weight
and sagging face
cut like a knife
how would that make you feel?
spent her whole life
chasing love
only to get kicked
in the t++th in the end
by the media who
ultimately destroyed her
i want them both to know
that what we did was so very wrong
we tore their hearts out
after they gave us so much
i want them to know
that we are so very sorry
about what we did
will send a prayer out to them
and cast it to the wind
hoping that the angels will deliver
my letter of apology
and have the songbirds
sing it to them
with a sweet whisper
you see it doesn’t feel good
to get old and outdated
to be discarded and devalued
just for getting old
they were such a generous souls
such good hearts
we owe them an apology
a very big apology
but a little bird just told me
they got the message
and have accepted the olive branch
g h o s t s are rising
to sing another day
to sing another day
to sing another day
in a mind+blowing
earth+shattering kind of way
because good souls never die
good spirits never die
yes, it’s true
a quite unexpected twist
elvis is back in the building
baby
elvis is back in the building
baby
elvis is back in the building
baby
