(x2)
Elvis in a ring of fire
hips swingin' feet swimmin' in an old pair of blue suede shoes
eyes wide like dodos, hair black as coal
he's walking the streets of Memphis
pickin' up pennies found on their heads
he's dancin' like he's on TV
I never realized but he's dancin' for me
he's got a lot of fans out there, but nobody cares
I just wanna hear him sing
didn't he know he was the only king
(x3)
he's actin' like it's his last chance
smoke risin' from his heels every time that he'd dance
and blue rhinestones on his legs, flowers on his grave
I wonder what he'd say
if he knew people felt like him today
(x3)
Elvis in a ring of fire
hips swingin' feet swimmin' in an old pair of blue suede shoes
