Every hound dog has his day
Long live the king, but now we really must be movin' on
Viva Las Vegas
It's been fun, but now it's truely over
Such a shame that this is how we have to end
Poisoned by the pressures of too much, too soon
Really now for sure the king has left the building
Even his most beloved friends did't know until now that he was still out there
Slowly but surely preparing to rejoin the world of the living, until fate stepped in to take away that chance
Loved them so much that he would have given up the peace of mind that came with finally being free
Every day now for forever we shall mourn the loss of this always great man
Youthful, full of life, and yearning
Always yearning, but never quite finding his way out
Out of the trap that fame and fortune made of his life
