A mouse in his maze
Half lost and half crazed
The thoughts overflow
Wave after wave
The affairs of the heart
Like finger-painted art
You almost see a shape
The image falls apart
It was like the cameras were rolling as we strolled beneath the sliver of a moon
I was hoping in the distance some radio would play a tender Elvis tune
But once again the mystery of love baffles a fool and a king
If he walked into this tragic scene
What song would Elvis sing?
When I meet the next someone
The spark of love's begun
Forget the bow and arrow
Give Cupid a gun
'Cause I can't talk away the pain
I can't cry away the rain
I can't seem to make love last
And I just can't abstain
It was like the cameras were rolling as we strolled beneath the sliver of a moon
I was hoping in the distance some radio would play a tender Elvis tune
But once again the mystery of love baffles a fool and a king
If he walked into this tragic scene
What song would Elvis sing?
Would he sing of how we misused
Our one chance at finding happiness
Could I just say to you "I still love you"
Let Elvis sing the rest
It was like the cameras were rolling as we strolled beneath the sliver of a moon
I was hoping in the distance some radio would play a tender Elvis tune
But once again the mystery of love baffles a fool and a king
If he walked into this tragedy
What song would Elvis sing?
What song would Elvis sing?
