How many times can you jump out of the cupboard
Before someone gets suspicious or someone gets discovered
You can live forever in a split second of fame

Come on down the price is right what's your name
While a crocodile makes good shoes and a dog may change his
coat

I can't change what's written on your face tonight and I
quote


[Chorus:]
Oh I wish you could see
Quite how much you could mean to me

You worthless thing
If you were ten feet taller and almost handsome
I might pay this king's ransom

You worthless thing

They commit blue murder along Union Avenue

Then they sell you souvenir matches
Nightclubs full of grave robbers from Memphis, Tennessee
And Las Vegas body snatchers

And he's carrying a warning can't you see how his eyes glint
Keep your bloody hands off my life your affectionate
fingerprint


[Chorus]


All the cars and pills and girls who tore his shirt to
tatters
Do you know how tall he was 'cos that is all that really

matters?
Do you know his mother's last name do you think that he's
divine?

You've seen the film you've read the book
you're drinking vintage Elvis Presley wine


Bored out of your tiny mind while life is twice as large
They'll cut her down to size on television
She's available and beautiful, but with more time to devote

They're going to take this cable now and stick it down your
throat
So this is an obituary which should be right and fitting

For every clockwork cat and conceivable kitten

[Chorus]
