King of the Mountain Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Could you see the aisles of women?
Could you see them screaming and weeping?
Could you see the storm rising?
Could you see the guy who was driving?
Could you climb higher and higher?
Could you climb right over the top?
Why does a multi-millionaire
Fill up his home with priceless junk?

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house

[Chorus]
Elvis, are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain

[Verse 2]
Another Hollywood waitress
Is telling us she's having your baby
And there's a rumour that you're on ice
And you will rise again someday
And that there's a photograph
Where you're dancing on your grave

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house

[Chorus]
Elvis, are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain

[Chorus]
Elvis, are you out there somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain now

[Bridge]
The wind it blows
The wind it blows the door closed
The wind it blows
The wind it blows

[Pre-Chorus]
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house

[Outro]
The wind it blows
The wind it blows

Why did Kate choose Elvis Presley as the subject matter for a song?

I think he’s one of those people who… I mean, that kind of fame that he must have been living with must have been unbearable. I can’t imagine what it must be like. I don’t think human beings are really built to withstand that kind of fame.
