King Electric Songtext

King Electric motor on the King is dead, the King is gone The King is in us Let his song play on ! I was cutting a dash down Bleecker Street the sewers were steaming underneath my feet I looked down MacDougall 'bout half a block said to myself that's where you come from I got a vision right there and then in my mind's eye you in your finery strolling by hands on your hip and your guitar case, sound of the future blowing in your face King Electric motor on the King is dead, the King is gone The King is in us Let his song play on ! I stepped down the stairs, ventured through the door sound nearly blew me clean to Singapore Black man child waltzing 'cross the stage squeezing guitar, singing "Purple Haze" King Electric motor on the King is dead, the King is gone The King is in us Let his song play on ! Play on ! I remember back home many moons ago I had a front room band, you should have heard us blow We was rough as a dog, loud as sin with a lead guitar player name of Davy Flynn He could play with his teeth, upside of his head he could make that thing ring like a-raising the dead You were his idol, you were his man I didn't get it them Davy, now I understand King Electric motor on the King is dead, the King is gone The King is in us Let his song play on ! 'Cause you were just too early, I was just too late You were just too fine, you were just too great You were just too real, you were just too true This world wasn't beautiful enough for you
