"Elvis Decanter" lyrics


THE VANDALS LYRICS

"Elvis Decanter"

Collecting dust inside that liquor store till you bought it for me
A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the King
The more I drank from it the less I saw of you
That bottle's empty now, and you and I are through

When you gave me the King of gifts, I didn't know what to say
Except a hundred and thirty dollars is an awful lot to pay
For a girl like you who doesn't make much money anyway
But you cared enough to put away a little everyday

Oh that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me

They told me I should have saved it; it'd be worth something someday
But me, I couldn't wait, that King of Rock got lighter everyday
Soon it was half empty and I was half as close to you
Then I drank the rest, I should've guessed I drank our love in two

From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King
If I had filled it up or made it last would it have changed a thing?
It's just an Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me

Oh that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
In the name of Elvis, why did you have to leave?
When I love you and I need you desperately tonight

Oh that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me

Collecting dust inside that liquor store till you bought it for me
A decanter full of whiskey in the image of the King
The more I drank from it the less I saw of you
That bottle's empty now, and you and I are through

Oh that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
A fitting symbol of our love, and empty likeness of the King
Your love for me went out the day you took that last remaining drink
From that Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
If I had filled it up or made it last, would it have changed a thing?
It's just an Elvis decanter, the one you gave to me
