Shaking Hands With Elvis Songtext
I'm mad at the man in the sky
I'm not sure he exists
Been writing you letters
For your infinite road trip
Did you make it past the gates?
Did you see the jungle room?
I hope it was worth the wait
And you made it 'round the moon
It's way too hard
Knowing you're so far
You may not be in Memphis
But you're shaking hands with Elvis
Living at his theme park
Where it's always spring
I'm gonna be selfish
Say you're with the man in velvet
Know he may not be God
But he's sure as hell The King
And his rhinestone angels sing
Are you playin' your piano
Singing all that rock 'n' roll?
I hope you know you can visit
Whеn the bird's-eye viеw gets old
Some things in life
Are too hard to understand
I'm just trying to cope the right way
Well, the best way that I can
It's so unfair
I'd meet you anywhere
You may not be in Memphis
But you're shaking hands with Elvis
Living at his theme park
Where it's always spring
I'm gonna be selfish
Say you're with the man in velvet
Know he may not be God
But he's sure as hell The King
And his rhinestone angels sing
I know one day
One day I'll join the band
But I don't know how or when
They say you're in a better place
I know, I know, but damn
I miss my friend
You may not be in Memphis
But you're shaking hands with Elvis
Living at his theme park
Where it's always spring
I'm gonna be selfish
Say you're with the man in velvet
Know he may not be God
But he's sure as hell The King
And his rhinestone angels sing
I'm not sure he exists
Been writing you letters
For your infinite road trip
Did you make it past the gates?
Did you see the jungle room?
I hope it was worth the wait
And you made it 'round the moon
It's way too hard
Knowing you're so far
You may not be in Memphis
But you're shaking hands with Elvis
Living at his theme park
Where it's always spring
I'm gonna be selfish
Say you're with the man in velvet
Know he may not be God
But he's sure as hell The King
And his rhinestone angels sing
Are you playin' your piano
Singing all that rock 'n' roll?
I hope you know you can visit
Whеn the bird's-eye viеw gets old
Some things in life
Are too hard to understand
I'm just trying to cope the right way
Well, the best way that I can
It's so unfair
I'd meet you anywhere
You may not be in Memphis
But you're shaking hands with Elvis
