Girls take cabs to Lonely Street Ask for Elvis by first name I walk them through Heartbreak Hotel To watch him forget his pain They wait for hours in the lobby Just to watch him pass them by Then dream all night of a burning love From the love me tender guy Hey there mystery rider Before they carve your name on a stone Why don’t you rise up from Graceland And sing us a bossanova song What is the rate for a one night stand With the king of rock and roll Too much to charge on a credit card Take out a second mortgage on your soul What would it cost to sleep beside The man with pills for eyes Reserve the bridal suite at Heartbreak Hotel Check in so lonely you could die Hey there lonesome rider Before your mystery train has gone Why don’t you rise up from Graceland And sing us a rock a hula song The dance floor is silent The Vegas stage is quiet The King is all dosed up Gone to bed at daylight You’re born with nothing Then the glory descends Gold records and prescriptions That’s when your heartache begins Hey there now or never rider Before your hound dog barks at dawn Why don’t you rise up from Graceland And sing us a teddy bear song
