END OF THE MYSTERY

So very strange and somewhat unreal
Just how someone tend to disappear
Knowledge or claims, conspiracy theories
Yea but, one cannot rule out the fact
It's the way it is
They just left without a notice or goodbye

The party closed down when the act was made
The papers wrote he'll be back someday
Everybody knew that was not to be
It's the sorry end of the mystery
There are things us common mortal folks can't know
Yet we know it - we've always known

The well dried up along with the changing times
They said he had enough and left his earthly goods behind
Here then gone as vanished off the ground
There are those who believe Elvis is still around
Lost and never found still waiting for a sign

The party closed down when the act was made
The papers wrote he'll be back someday
Everybody knew that was not to be
It's the sorry end of the mystery
There are things us common mortal folks can't know
Yet we know it

Solo:

There's no certainties
Only the question why

The party closed down when the act was made
The papers wrote he'll be back someday
Everybody knew that was not to be
It's the sorry end of the mystery
The party closed down - The papers wrote
Everybody knew - It's the sorry end of the mystery
There are things us common mortal folks can't know
Yet we know it

End Of The Mystery

END OF THE MYSTERY

Busy Being Human

Got no time to sit around
And watch the world go by
Got too many worries on my mind
Sleepy-eyed and duty-bound
I put my needs aside
And pray I'll have my fill in another life

I'm so busy being human
I've never learned to know
How it's like
To know what it's like in the now

Onerous years of no delight
This wicked life I lead
Ain't no time for resting on a cloud
Comfort's yet nowhere in sight
So how can I succeed
With too many things to do and care about

I'm so busy being human
I've never learned to know
How it's like
To know what it's like in the now
Right here in the now

I'd like to know how it feels
To pause the world
And catch my breath for a little while
And leave off my load
And never, never, ever look back

SOLO

I'm so busy being human
I've never learned to know
How it's like
To know what it's like in the now
Just how it's like
In the now - now - now - now
Hey - hey - hey
