In this house, there are many many mansions
And a tower in desperate need of a spire
And a million little churches for all denominations
Better get good advice, if youre a first time buyer
The ghosts around here, well, they are big business
Theyre union so they only come out at night
But theyll scare you half to death when you are sleeping
So please remember when you turn out the lights
Please clear off the floor
Your tickets just arent valid anymore
Cos elvis, elvis has left the building
It was just one small step for humanity
But it took him half an hour to cross the floor
And the little girls scream and turn into their mothers
Who got much more respect before the war
Used to be the world would take our cues from one another
Now just one man can tear the world in half
Some idiots cracking jokes that he will never understand
About how he hates gays and everybody laughs
Please clear off the floor
That joke just isnt funny anymore
Cos elvis, elvis has left the building
Elvis, elvis has left the building
Aloha earth, this is elvis calling
Youll find me in the big house now
Im gone but Ive not forgotten
Ive joined the order
Ive taken vows
I didnt like what I saw down there anyhow
Now everyone wants to see the clocks turned backwards
To when men were men and women cooked their meals
When you could only sing on tv from the waist up,
(but you could do it live)
Well Im 25 and I dont know how that feels
So me and my friends we decide to have a party
But the outside world crashes and it gets so unreal
Cos each of us is a fragment with a million little centres
Soon someone will discover the wheel
Please clear off the floor
Your tickets just arent valid anymore
Cos elvis, elvis has left the building
John Wesley Harding is the stage name of Robert Allen Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan. The album "John Wesley Harding", released in 1967, marks a turning point in his musical career. After the explosion of folk rock and the social protests of the 1960s, Dylan moves away from more electric and engaged sounds to embrace a more introspective and minimalist country-folk style. The album features songs like "All Along the Watchtower", "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" and "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine", which reflect a more personal and poetic approach, with lyrics often dark and enigmatic. The influence of country music is evident in simple arrangements and catchy melodies. John Wesley Harding represents a transitional phase for Dylan, marking the beginning of a musical journey that will lead him to explore new genres and sounds.
