King of the
Mountain
Could you see the aisles of
women?
Could you see them screaming and
weeping?
Could you see the storm
rising?
Could you see the guy who was
driving?
Could you climb higher and
higher?
Could you climb right over the
top?
Why does a multi-millionaire
Fill up his home with priceless
junk?
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house
Elvis are you out there
somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain
Another Hollywood waitress
Is telling us she's having your
baby
And there's a rumour that you're
on ice
And you will rise again
someday
And that there's a photograph
Where you're dancing on your
grave
The wind is whistling
The wind is whistling
Through the house
Elvis are you out there
somewhere
Looking like a happy man?
In the snow with Rosebud
And king of the mountain
The wind it blows
The wind it blows the door
closed
Written and Produced by Kate
Recording and Mixing Engineer:
Del Palmer
Mastered by James Guthrie
