Elvis Has Left the Building

[Verse 1]
Well, in this house there are many many mansions
And a tower in desperate need of a spire
And a million little churches for all denominations
Better get good advice if you're a first time buyer
The ghosts around here, well, they are big business
They're union so of course they only come out at night
But they'll scare you half to death when you are sleeping
So please remember when you turn out the lights

[Chorus]
Please clear off the floor
Your tickets just aren't valid anymore
'Cause Elvis, Elvis has left the building (Hey)

[Verse 2]
You know it was just one small step for humanity
But it took him half an hour to cross the floor
And the little girls scream and turn into their mothers
Who say they got much more respect before the war
Used to be the world would take its cues from one another
Now just one man can tear the world in half
Some idiot's cracking jokes that he will never understand
'Bout how he hates gays and everybody laughs

[Chorus]
Please clear off the floor
'Cause that joke just isn't funny anymore (It never was)
'Cause Elvis, Elvis has left the building
Elvis, Elvis has left the building (Hey)

[Bridge]
Aloha Earth, this is Elvis calling
You'll find me in the big house now
I'm gone, but I've not forgotten
I've joined the order
I've taken vows
I didn't like what I saw down there, anyhow

[Verse 3]
Now everyone wants to see the clocks turned backwards
To when men were men and women cooked the meals
Go out for the evening, have change for the bus ride home
See, I'm twenty-four but I don't know how that would feel
Yeah, you know that everyone wants to see the clocks turned backwards
To when men were men and women cooked the meals
You could sing on TV live, but you could only do it from the waist up
I'm twenty-four and I don't know how that feels
So, me and my friends we decide to sit around and have a party
But the outside world bursts in, it's so unreal
'Cause each of us is a fragment with a million little centres
Soon someone will discover the wheel

[Chorus]
Please clear off the floor
That joke just isn't funny anymore
And Elvis, Elvis has left the building
Elvis, Elvis has left the building
Elvis, Elvis has left the building

[Outro]
Thank you very much
