Outdoor Elvis by The Swirling Eddies Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out there where the air is clean
The redwoods high and the grass is green
People tell me they have seen
A giant footprint
Is he fishing and skiing and hunting duck
With a guitar, shotgun and a pickup truck?
Well, with any kind of luck
We'll photograph him
[Chorus 1]
Oh, oh
Come again, Outdoor Elvis
Be our friend
Save us, Outdoor Elvis
The world has hope 'cause he's feeling good
Escaped the city, lives in the woods
This is the spot I think he stood
Here's a giant footprint
A plaster cast where the pilgrims flock
Ticket line's around the block
If we don't have the King, what have we got?
Life don't make no sense
[Chorus 2]
Oh, oh
Come again, Outdoor Elvis
Be our friend
Save us, Outdoor Elvis
We have sinned
Forgive us, Outdoor Elvis
[Bridge 1]
We'll build a shrine among the pines to you
We might have to set a trap to bring him back
Dead or alive, if we want to survive
We gotta bring him back
Bring him back
Oh
[Verse 3]
In his fishing vest and silver cape
I bet he's really looking great
You can pretty much tell that he's lost weight
From the depth of his footprint
It's said he croons when the moon's above
Singing tenderly "Hunk of Burning Love"
It's nice to know he's still got his stuff
Hasn't lost the accent
[Chorus 2]
Oh, oh
Come again, Outdoor Elvis
Be our friend
Save us, Outdoor Elvis
We have sinned
Forgive us, Outdoor Elvis
[Bridge 2]
We'll build a shrine among the pines to you
'Til the end of time, stand in this line for you
O.E., O.E., look for a sign from you
[Outro]
We might have to set a trap
Dead or alive, we'll bring him back
Out there where the air is clean
The redwoods high and the grass is green
People tell me they have seen
A giant footprint
Is he fishing and skiing and hunting duck
With a guitar, shotgun and a pickup truck?
Well, with any kind of luck
We'll photograph him
[Chorus 1]
Oh, oh
Come again, Outdoor Elvis
Be our friend
Save us, Outdoor Elvis
The world has hope 'cause he's feeling good
Escaped the city, lives in the woods
This is the spot I think he stood
Here's a giant footprint
A plaster cast where the pilgrims flock
Ticket line's around the block
If we don't have the King, what have we got?
Life don't make no sense
[Chorus 2]
Oh, oh
Come again, Outdoor Elvis
Be our friend
Save us, Outdoor Elvis
We have sinned
Forgive us, Outdoor Elvis
[Bridge 1]
We'll build a shrine among the pines to you
We might have to set a trap to bring him back
Dead or alive, if we want to survive
We gotta bring him back
Bring him back
Oh
