Elvis On Velvet (T. Kimmel, M. Byrom, D. Newhauser. 1992)
All night long way black top highway Midnight hittin' a groove
Mustang radio rag top Jukebox hound dog Don't be cruel
Roadside rest stop all night truck stop Side show out of a van
Rhinestone lunchbox Ashtray junk shop Key chain hittin' the fan
Elvis on velvet - don't no why It makes me blue
Elvis on velvet - It's got a strange effect on you
Elvis on velvet - Somehow it makes me mad
Elvis on velvet - And I can see him tonight Up on the road ahead
Well drift back daydream Union street scene 1955
Street fair flat bed three piece strong Band shakin' man alive
Then Hearbreak Hotel, Jailhouse Rock, Well love me tender, please
I'm all shook up, too much, So treat me nice and wear my ring
Well graceland wasteland right this Way ma'am one low price to pay
His life, his love, his home, his stuff His final resting place
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done Thy records re-released
All kneel to second guess and bless Him, let him rest in peace
Cry Baby (M. Lanning, R. Bell. 1991)
Pick you up on a saturday night
Hopin' that later I can hold you tight
Spendin' my money like It's out of style
Pull up in my truck It bring a smile from you baby
You don't like it I'll say goodnight
I don't need no crybaby goodbye
Took you out on another date
I begged you baby Please don't be late
Supposed to be ready 'bout an hour ago
Me downstairs just pacin' the floor
You're late I'll wait
The moon is risin', we could be driven
Girl we're just wastin' time
With all you cryin' you just denying
Any love that comes to you
Bless my soul what's wrong with you
!.ryin' all the time just like babies do
Playin' your games just not my bag
Why must you be such a drag
No fun I'm done
Please Don't Touch (H.
Robinson. 1959)
Don't touch me baby 'cuz I'm shakin' so much
Don't touch me baby 'cuz I'm shakin' so much
Well there ain't no other woman that makes me feel this way
Well she come up close I just ain't got a word to say
Please don't touch 'cuz I shake so much
Don't touch me baby 'cuz I shake so much
You know I get so nervous when I see her eyes that shine
She looks right throuh me and a shiver runs down my spine
Please don't touch 'cuz I shake so much
Please don't touch 'cuz I shake so much
I don't know why she's got her claws in me
I wanna be a bachelor fancy free
Runnin' from the preacher man what a relief
Spend my life just shakin' like a lief
I remember the first time Her ruby lips crossed my cheek
You know I opened up my mouth And the rest of me just couldn't speak

(J. Farina, S. Farina. 1959)
Lust In Love (Setzer, Carter, Ellsworth. 1992)
The wind is blowin' beer cans Down a cold deserted street I
feel as empty as those beer cans Rollin' past my feet I can hear
Chicago blues From an out of tune guitar And a 1939 neon sign
buzzin' Above the bar
I'm at an intersection Lost my direction and I don't Know
which way to go She left me on the corner Of lust in love
I got an old tattoo Dedicated to you Covered up with thorns
But the heart bleeds through And your name does too Forever on my
arm Each night I go walkin' Through the darkness all alone But
I never get off That dirty old street No matter how far I
roam
Underneath the street light I strain my eyes to see The
silhouettes reflection Of a long black mercury Shadows on the
pavement From the corner of my eye Fool me into thinkin' My
baby's passing me
Beautiful Blues (Setzer,
Paine. 1992)
Always a queen Always so fine Always some joker Standin' in
line To get a view Now he's hittin' on you
Well let me hear you sing it Baby sing the beautiful blues
Since you were a babe You've been heaven sent Just think of
all the money These crazy men have spent on you I guess I'm one
of them too
Now there must be times When you get tired Of being idolized
It's got you searchin' for a man Who ain't that kinda guy Where
you gonna be When you get old You're gonna need somebody To
have and to hold on to Who really cares about you
Cross Of Love (Setzer, Paine.
1988)
Where does it say All the love that we made Must Disappear And
who made the rule That the one who is cruel Won't cry the
tears Well we woke up unsatisfied Got out of bed and said
goodbye But don't leave me here Dyin' on the croos of love
Don't leave me here Dyin' on the croos of love I got down on
my knees And prayed to the lord above Don't leave me now baby
realize You can't make our love a sacrifice Don't leave me here
Dyin' on the croos of love
Who pays the cost If the love that is lost Goes unredeemed And
why should I care If this cross that I bear Is destiny My
heart was pure My love was strong Forgive me if I done you wrong
But don't leave me here Dyin' on the croos of love
Where does it say All the love that we made Must Disappear And
who made the rule That the one who is cruel Won't cry the
tears Well now I know How cruel thou art Have mercy baby on my
haert But don't leave me here Dyin' on the croos of love
Can't Go Back To Memphis (R. Bachman. 1992)
Low down dealin' in Memphis Card game in a back room I was
lookin' at my last dollar hopin' lady luck would come by soon
They raised the betting limit the cards were flying fast I
bet away my future I'd already lost my past
Now I can't go back to Memphis Can't go back to Memphis (I
played out every game) Can't go back to Memphis Can't go
back to Memphis (Everybody knows my name) Too many people wanna
even out the score And I can't go back to Memphis no more
I hung out on the east side heard my reputation was in doubt
It was starting to look like a bad ride It looked like time
for gettin' out I sent the man a message said I was gonna split
He sent a message back that said "I don't let nobody quit"
I tried my best to beat the system but the system put me back in
my place They maintained a delicate balance where no one got in
nobody's face I tried to make a dollar just surviving in the
streets I fought the gangs, I fought the law but they both had
me beat
Jade Idol Instrumental (Setzer, Rocker, Phantom.
1992)
My Heart Is A Liar (Setzer, Rocker, Phantom. 1992)
Sittin' by myself Lookin' out a broken window And out on the
street Crowds of people passin' by But how are they to know I'm
feelin' so alone I feel like I could Break down and cry Now I
know how Broken hearts must feel
But my heart is a liar for you My heart is aliar it's
true Flames keep on burnin' Burnin' so high Never gonna
die
Sittin' all alone Feelin' sorry for myself I catch my
reflection And I see the kinda' Fool I've been But how was I to
know I had to let it go The only way to make it alright Now
you've lit the flame again
Sometimes I think I pass you by But it's just love Blinding my
eyes
Mystery Train (Jr. Parker, S. Phillips. 1955)
Train arrived sixteen coaches long Train arrived sixteen
coaches long Well that long black train Got my baby and gone
Train train rollin' around the bend Train train rollin'
around the bend Well it took my baby But it never will again
