Lauren Lapointe The Ghost of Elvis lyrics

Late at night when the whole world dreams
She hears the ghost of Elvis singing her to sleep
He says “baby, come and sing with me”
She says “oh Elvis I've been waiting for your company”

Every day it's just the same old thing
Cookin' and a'cleanin' and nobody listening
She says “maybe I'd like to dress up right
Put on my sequins and dance with Elvis tonight”

The ghost of Elvis likes to sing the blues
The ghost of Elvis and those blue suede shoes
He says “baby come to the jailhouse with me
You've been down at the heartbreak hotel hangin' with the lonely”

She went to Graceland just to see where he died
She lay on his gravestone and oh how she cried

He said “don't cry baby I'm not so far
When you look at the nighttime sky I'll be that rhinestone star”

The ghost of Elvis likes to sing the blues
The ghost of Elvis and those blue suede shoes
He says “baby you know I won't be cruel”
She says “oh Elvis won't you be my hound dog too”

The ghost of Elvis likes to sing the blues
The ghost of Elvis and those blue suede shoes
He says “baby stay in the jailhouse with me
You've been down at the heartbreak hotel hangin' with the lonely
You've been down at the heartbreak hotel hangin' with the lonely”
