Well I started out with nothing
I got almost nothing left
It seems if you don't ask for much
That's exactly what you'll get
Well I got my expectations and they're not filled with greed
I've done my calculations
Here's exactly what I need
Just give me half of what killed Elvis and I'll be satisfied
Lisa Marie and Priscilla and me
Man driving around all night
But I don't want no hard stuff
For I am not insane
Just give me half of what killed Elvis and you can call me king
Now Elvis blew up two TV's 'cause he hated Bob Goulet
I swear that one is all I'll need to do in Billy Ray
And I don't want no Graceland or get married out in back
But I sure could use a shiny suit cause I started getting back
Just give me half of what killed Elvis and I'll be satisfied
Lisa Marie and a TCB man
Flying to Vegas at night
But I don't want no hard stuff
For I am not insane
Just give me half of what killed Elvis and you can call me king
Folks are disillusioned with the American dream
Cause of what it did to Elvis and Marilyn and James Dean
But they were all like comets and they burned up oh so bright
But I'm just an old blue star growing fainter every night
Just give me half of what killed Elvis and I'll be satisfied
Lisa Marie and the TCB
Driving 'round Memphis all night
And I don't want no Colonel
Or Red West by my side
Give me half of what killed Elvis and I'll be satisfied
Give me half of what killed Elvis and I'll be satisfied
