The Lyrics
Jim [Morrison], Janis [Joplin], MM: Marilyn Monroe
The image was real:
He'd had many meals.
He's fat, but among the living.
He was dressed in white,
Had cellulite.
The seams on his pants were riven.
Didn't die,
The King's alive.
I seen him down at Graceland.
Then he raised his hand--
Moses on dry land.
Bush was on fire,
He was no longer colder.
The Exodus was near.
Jim and Janis drank beer.
JFK and MM again did smolder.
Seen at Graceland,
They made the scene at Graceland.
Leaving Graceland,
Don't go!
Leaving Graceland.
Fans are waiting.
He'd had many meals.
He's fat, but among the living.
He was dressed in white,
Had cellulite.
The seams on his pants were riven.
Didn't die,
The King's alive.
I seen him down at Graceland.
Then he raised his hand--
Moses on dry land.
Bush was on fire,
He was no longer colder.
The Exodus was near.
Jim and Janis drank beer.
JFK and MM again did smolder.
Seen at Graceland,
They made the scene at Graceland.
Leaving Graceland,
Don't go!
Leaving Graceland.
Fans are waiting.

Thanks Rick, Alvin.
