They call her the rat, of the band She's just a normal woman looking for a music man She works on her job, the whole lousy day Night time she begins to live When that music starts to play Dot dot da da Dot dot da da The folks in this town Won't give her the time They think what girl is doing Is just a low-down crime She won't have a fit About what they think She knows they were on their backs When they got those lovely minks Dot dot da da Dot dot da da Then they walked hand-in-hand from the dark to fire A long playing house of joy Sharks on the move Circle around No time to think You need a drink Here's to you kid You're on your way Try one of these Fly high today Well the King lost his soul in a back stage basement And he thought that he was flying Well the blues had him low And his dream stopped burning A Long Way from Tupelo How on earth could he have known A King sits lonely on a silent throne Lonely King of all the land thirty-two musicians on a one night stand (Concert Announcements) "Ladies and gentlemen, the King!" "Thank you ladies and gentlemen. Thank you!- My Bandleader, Steffen Presley. Thank you.- God Bless Everybody!" They call her the rat The rat of the band She's just a lonely woman looking for a music man She works on her job, the whole lousy day Night time she begins to live When that music starts to play Dat dat da da Dat dat da da She won't love for gold, your chain or your ring Something 'bout those music men Makes her hear begin to sing She knows they'll move on Where other girls scream But tonight, the night is right And she's got her dream She's singing Dat dat a da dat dat a da dat dat a da dad-----da-----da--- Momma! Well the King left the road Wrapped in death's cold shadow Broken dreams of self-destruction More than ten thousand fans Left a gleaming teardrop Then searched for another joy Shooting stars light up the sky The world seems brighter as they pass us by Hearts will break and screams will die Listen to the thunder of his last goodbye. Working on a one night stand. (music)
