<br>How many times can you jump out of the cupboard<br><br>Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets discovered<br><br>You can live forever in a split second of fame<br><br>Come on down the price is right whats your name<br><br>While a crocodile makes good shoes and a dog may change his coat<br><br>I cant change whats written on your face tonight and I quote<br><br><br><br>Chorus<br><br>Oh I wish you could see<br><br>Quite how much you could mean to me<br><br>You worthless thing<br><br>If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome<br><br>I might pay this kings ransom<br><br>You worthless thing<br><br><br><br>They commit blue murder along union avenue<br><br>Then they sell you souvenir matches<br><br>Nightclubs full of grave robbers from memphis, tennessee<br><br>And las vegas body snatchers<br><br>And hes carrying a warning cant you see how his eyes glint<br><br>Keep your bloody hands off my life your affectionate fingerprint<br><br><br><br>Chorus<br><br><br><br>All the cars and pills and girls who tore his shirt to tatters<br><br>Do you know how tall he was cos that is all that really matters? <br><br>Do you know his mothers last name do you think that hes divine? <br><br>Youve seen the film youve read the book<br><br>Youre drinking vintage elvis presley wine<br><br><br><br>Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large<br><br>Theyll cut her down to size on television<br><br>Shes available and beautiful, but with more time to devote<br><br>Theyre going to take this cable now and stick it down your throat<br><br>So this is an obituary which should be right and fitting<br><br>For every clockwork cat and conceivable kitten<br><br><br><br>Chorus
