Porcelain Throne (A Tribute to the King)

Here I sit on a common man's throne beautiful no longer
Brought down by a fiend's desire and an imbecile's hunger
Here at last once and for all alone without doubt a goner
Me and the Colonel had a war and the outcome was a slaughter
Kinda funny to see an obese king reduced to flesh and bones and angel's wings
I guess I really should have known the emperor's wearing no clothes
Said the King of Rock and Roll on his Throne
The King of Rock and Roll

How the mighty have fallen how the great have been brought low
All those gold Cadillacs are stalling all the women are saying no
Naked and dead on my porcelain throne I'm only fat and pathetic and old
Stripped of all I had and was I'm worth less now than all I owned
May my humble contribution corruption to be shown
And death decay and destruction forever to be known though none may heed the message...
Said the King of Rock and Roll on his Throne
The King of Rock and Roll
