Fat Elvis lyrics

Lying awake beside a fat Elvis Behind the shades his eyes are closed A costume accustomed, the symbol is the fatal In circuses where clowns look fat Try waiting here, sparks burn your eyes The armour's tight, it's not your size The passion's there where we left you It's not your size, this isn't new I watched and watch, I watch a fat Elvis As time ushers in a new contender Nostalgia has such a pretty price tag Nostalgia - such a pretty price tag A shimmer of pity surrounds a fat Elvis A memory makes him our family The cut-outs, the copies, the fatter in the latter The formula in getting old Try waiting here, sparks burn your eyes The armour's right, it's not your size The passion's there where we left you It's not your size, this isn't new Try waiting here, sparks burn your eyes Sparks burn your eyes
