Colonel and the King
Letras
I recall a book you gave me
About the colonel and the king
A guy had left it on his train seat
When he'd woken from a dream
He'd been shouting out names and stuff
While he was asleep
Nobody would wake him up
It was a strange scene
Elvis made a film called Flaming Star
Back in 1960
He played a guy called Payson Burton
Who had a brother called Clint
We watched the film on the same night
Because we took a book
Like it was some kind of omen
Like it would save us from bad luck
Whoa, the colonel and the king
Whoa, the colonel and the king
We've got a funny way of seeing things
Like the way we looked at those guys
How one was a pawn in a dirty game
While the other stole his soul and stole the prize
I guess we've got to blame someone
We've always got to blame someone
How could something so electric
Become so disconnected?
But they were running against the wind
A carny and a country kid
They dreamed an impossible dream
And they both believed in it
We'll never see the lights again
You'll never see the lights again
The carny and the country kid
The colonel and the king
Whoa, the colonel and the king
Whoa, the colonel and the king
Elvis was a flaming star
Elvis was a flaming star
Elvis was a flaming star
The king was a flaming star
Elvis was a flaming star
Elvis was a flaming star
Elvis was a flaming star
The king was a flaming star
Whoa, the colonel and the king
Whoa, the colonel and the king
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
