Postcard From Elvis

I got a postcard from Elvis
It was postmarked Guam
Said he was cooking in a little cafe
Where he met Yvonne
Said the lights from the kitchen
Didn't bother him much
Wasn't really worried about what he ate
Or shaving and such

Said he found an old Monaro
Said it runs pretty good
Most Saturdays, he's dreaming away
Under the hood

He said maybe its a little bit stupid
Sometimes I forget
But the closer I come to the heart of the matter
The farther away I get

Got a phonecall from Norma
Said she's loving the farm
Spends her time advancing her mind
In sweet Johnny's arms
Said he's glad to be out of the running
Glad he got away clean
Working the land with dirt on his hands
For his sweet Norma Jean

They got a big old four poster
They know whats coming soon
And baby needs shoes
And when the little one's due
They'll be needing some room

They said maybe its a little bit stupid
Sometimes I forget
But the closer I come to the heart of the matter
The farther away I get

I've been talking to some old friends of mine
Can you hold a moment while I get my other line

Got a message from Buddha
He left it on my machine
He said when you go so fast that its slow
You'll know what I mean
Said he found an old Monaro
Said it runs pretty good
Most Saturdays he's dreaming away
Under the hood

He said maybe its a little bit stupid
Sometimes I forget
But the closer I come to the heart of the matter
The farther away I get
