about
words and Music by Richie Reinholdt
lyrics
I’m gonna paint me a Velvet Elvis make it really good and tall
Cover up the gaping wound that’s tearing through my wall
Gonna buy me a broken monkey with a money back guarantee
Split it right down the middle and save the biggest half for me
Gonna fry me up a meat tube and give it to the one I love
Chunks of vein and gristle better handle it with a glove
Gonna fix me a vise grip sandwich covered with shoes and lard
Eat as much as I can and bury the rest in the yard
Gonna paint me a Velvet Elvis shaking hands with the boss
LImping like a plastic Jesus hanging on a Matzoh cross
Well I found me a holy grail sleeping by the edge of the night
Filled with the promise of sorrow wrapped in the coming daylight
Well I dreamed an enchanted forest embraced by a lake of the moon
Shattered by an industrial explosion leaking from the side of my room
It was cover with pins and needles pain and pleasure at once
Wearing bib overalls with a little gold star on the front
Gonna paint me a velvet Elvis apearing to the cows
Farmer says they’re all shook the herd is all aroused
When cancer is cured by mice milk man stuffs rats down his pants
Aliens in King Tut’s tomb being eaten alive by ants
Cover up the gaping wound that’s tearing through my wall
Gonna buy me a broken monkey with a money back guarantee
Split it right down the middle and save the biggest half for me
Gonna fry me up a meat tube and give it to the one I love
Chunks of vein and gristle better handle it with a glove
Gonna fix me a vise grip sandwich covered with shoes and lard
Eat as much as I can and bury the rest in the yard
Gonna paint me a Velvet Elvis shaking hands with the boss
LImping like a plastic Jesus hanging on a Matzoh cross
Well I found me a holy grail sleeping by the edge of the night
Filled with the promise of sorrow wrapped in the coming daylight
Well I dreamed an enchanted forest embraced by a lake of the moon
Shattered by an industrial explosion leaking from the side of my room
It was cover with pins and needles pain and pleasure at once
Wearing bib overalls with a little gold star on the front
Gonna paint me a velvet Elvis apearing to the cows
Farmer says they’re all shook the herd is all aroused
When cancer is cured by mice milk man stuffs rats down his pants
Aliens in King Tut’s tomb being eaten alive by ants
