A Tale Of 2 Different Kings
Carved David out of marble
What else could Michel do
Searching for an angle
Immortalizing you
Did the same with Elvis
He too was a king
We put him in velvet
David in a museum
Where we keep him under guard
For all the world to see
Take all the pictures that you like
But no autographs if you please
Elvis on a pedestal
Amid the screams and crys
Kept his fame though lost his way
Where alone he died
David fiddled around with sling shots
Elvis sang and played guitar
One relaxed on roof tops
The other bought people cars
These are different days
Those were different times
Both of these men caved
To sin in their lives
Man can succumb to pressure
When given everything
A show of pain and pleasure
A tale of 2 different kings
