lyrics

ELVIS
CHEATING WORDS AND CHEATING HEARTS DON'T TEMPT ME
FOLLOW THESE RULES AND LIFE WILL NO LONGER BE EMPTY
ALWAYS DO WHAT THE GOOD LORD SAY
FOLLOW YOUR GOD OR THERE'S HELL TO PAY.
YOUNG OR OLD, IT'S DEVIL’S GOLD
STAND UP, I SAY
ALWAYS DO WHAT THE GOOD LORD SAY
AND EACH AND EVERY MORNING IS A CHRISTMAS DAY.
CHEATING HEART YOUR CHEATING CEASE
SOME DAY ON EARTH BE PEACE.

Canned applause. Two GUYS move into the audience brandishing signs: 'Standing Ovation!’ ‘Up off Your Butt!' 'Clap You Bastards!' ELVIS milks the applause, flashing the peace sign, giving it lips and hips.

GUYS
ANOTHER HERO BITES THE DUST
ANOTHER HERO HITS THE TRAIL
ANOTHER HERO WAVES AT US
ANOTHER HERO HAIL

¬ELVIS
Thank y'all! I'm coming amongst you. I'll be there. I'll be there for you!

ELVIS moves amongst the audience, pressing the flesh.

GUYS
ANOTHER HERO BITES THE DECK
ANOTHER HERO HITS THE RAILS
ANOTHER HERO, WHO COULD FORGET?
ANOTHER HERO SAILS

ELVIS
Stand up! Stand up y'all! Some day on earth there will be peace! Yes there will! I fixed it with Nixon!

ELVIS climbs back on stage and ascends a stairway towards a backdrop sunset.

GUYS
ANOTHER HERO CLIMBS THE STAIRS
ANOTHER HERO SKIPS THE BAIL
ANOTHER HERO, SAY A PRAYER
ANOTHER HERO’S UP FOR SALE
ANOTHER HERO PAYS THE PRICE
ANOTHER FOOL IN PARADISE.
ANOTHER HERO, ANOTHER HERO TO FIND!

At the top of the stairs, ELVIS turns and gives a final wave.

ELVIS
Goodbye everybody. Follow your God!
A trapdoor opens beneath him.

ELVIS
Aargh!!

ELVIS crashes out of our lives.

NEV
Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has just left the building.

ELVIS
(muffled, distant)
WE’RE CAUGHT IN A TRAP....

BLACKOUT.
