The Only King Lyrics

elvis in a ring of fire

hips swinging, feet swimming in an old pair of blue suede shoes

eyes white like no dose, hair black as coal

he's walking the streets of memphis

picking up pennies found on their heads



he's dancing like he's on t.v.

i never realized but he's dancing for me

he's got a lot of fans out there but nobody cares

i just want to hear him sing

didn't he know he was the only king?



he's acting like it's his last chance

smoke rising from his heels every time that he'd dance

blue rhinestones on his legs, flowers on his grave

i wonder what he'd say

if he knew people felt like him today



elvis in a ring of fire

hips swinging, feet swimming in an old pair of blue suede shoes
