Elvis In My Yard

i was sleepin'
'cause the day was hard
i was dreamin'
elvis was in my yard
what a thing it was
to see him there
then he started singing
when he saw me stare

wise men say
there's no way that you've seen elvis
suspicious minds
think i've gone back to the drink
idle chatter
oh i hear it in the hallway
all day long
but i swear that i dreamed elvis sang a song

one day later
i was in my bed
the morning after
went straight to my head
there was a masked man
dressed up in white
the old lone ranger
haunts my dreams tonight

wise men say
there's no way that you've seen elvis
suspicious minds
think i've gone back to the drink
idle chatter
oh i hear it in the hallway
all day long
but i swear that i dreamed elvis sang a song
