He was born a man he died a myth
他生而为人 逝而成神
The man part left and the rest stayed with

One part vision one part dream
半是幻影 半是梦境
Partly mirror and partly screen
半为明镜 半作银屏
That's why why they say he never died
所以世人说他从未离去
The fat man's gone the thin one stayed
臃肿身躯已逝 清瘦身影犹在
Still flashy in that gold lame
依旧闪耀着金色光芒
Lick his back and press him down
舔舐他的脊背 将他压制
Mail him to another town
将他邮寄至另一座城镇
That's why why they say he still alive
这就是为何人们说他仍在人间
Things got hot in the styles he mixed

Did you see him move in '56

Gun smoke over the Sullivan show

Shot waist up from Tupelo

And he's gone gone gone

We asked too much we took his best

Couldn't let him live can't let him rest

Then too I share in all the blame

For why why they say he's still alive
