Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn’s my mother, Jesus is my bestest friend. We don’t need nobody 'Cause we got each other, Or at least I pretend.
We get down every Friday night, Dancin’ and grindin’ in the pale moonlight. Grand Ole Opry, we're feelin’ alright, Mary prays the rosary for my broken mind. (I said don't worry about it)
[Chorus:] I sing the body electric, I sing the body electric, baby. I sing the body electric, I sing the body electric, Sing that body electric, Sing that body electric. I’m on fire, Sing that body electric.
I fall asleep in an American flag I wear my diamonds on Skid Row I pledge allegiance to my dad For teachin' me everything he knows
Harvey's in the sky with diamonds and he's making me crazy (I come alive, alive) All he wants to do is party with his pretty baby, yeah
Come on baby, let's ride We can escape to the great sunshine I know your wife, and she wouldn't mind We made it out to the other side We made it out to the other side We made it out to the other side
My clothes still smell like you, And all the photographs say you’re still young. I pretend I’m not hurt And go about the world like I’m havin’ fun.
Drugs, suck it up, like Vanilla Ice-cream Don't treat me rough, treat me really nicely Decorate my neck, diamantes icies Why, come on, come on Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh yeah
Come on baby, let's ride We can escape to the great sunshine I know your wife, and she wouldn't mind We made it out to the other side
