Lyrics

American Mecca in the desert is shining in the night
An Econoline full of pilgrims is guided by the light

Graceland in Sin City will turn the town around
That’s the word out on the street
His majesty the king shall sit upon the throne
And rule over the rhythm and the beat
Rhythm and the beat

Elvis in Las Vegas
He sings your favorite songs
Elvis in Las Vegas
Whatever could go wrong
Whatever could go wrong

High rollers low riders all gather from far and wide they come
And in the presence of the king somehow they see him as beautiful and young

The heat of the desert plays tricks on the mind
Mirages shimmer in the steam
The thirsty and hungry get fooled all the time
And get lost chasing a dream
Chasing a dream

Elvis in Las Vegas
He sings your favorite songs
Elvis in Las Vegas
Whatever could go wrong
Whatever could go wrong

Maggie gets the day off from her night job to take part in the scene
And as she sits before the king she imagines that she is now his queen

She saw the face of Jesus heard the voice of god so strong
When she sat before the king that day
She swears to everyone he looked right into her eyes
When he sang about what wise men say
What wise men say

Elvis in Las Vegas
He sings your favorite songs
Elvis in Las Vegas
Whatever could go wrong
Whatever could go wrong

Elvis in Las Vegas
Elvis in Las Vegas
Elvis in Las Vegas

Whatever could go wrong
