Lyrics
I'm living dead
I feel emotionally detached or numb, as if I'm not truly alive.
Dreaming of ghosts
I am haunted by memories or thoughts of the past.
You've been trying to tell me all this time
You have been attempting to communicate something important to me for a while.
And the King's in my head
The influence of Elvis Presley (the King of Rock and Roll) is strongly present in my thoughts.
Sings his songs he's amazing
Elvis, through his music, captivates and impresses me.
I've been dreaming of Elvis all my life
I have been fantasizing about Elvis throughout my entire life.
Chorus:
Refrain/Repeated theme
So now you're stealing my time
Now, you are taking away my precious moments or experiences.
All the hours that I once stole from you
All the time I once took for myself is now being taken by you.
I never thought you would mind
I didn't expect you to be bothered by it.
But I can see you do
However, it's clear that you are disturbed by it.
All skin and bones
I am physically frail or emaciated.
All on my own
I am alone and isolated.
You've been trying to tell me all this time
You've been trying to convey a message to me persistently.
And the things in my head
My thoughts or concerns are overwhelming me.
Are slowly driving me crazy
The thoughts in my mind are gradually making me lose my sanity.
I've been dreaming of Elvis all my life
Reiteration of the longing or fascination with Elvis.
Chorus x2
Refrain/Repeated theme
So now you're stealing my time
Now, you are taking away more of my time.
All the hours that I once stole from you
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the loss of time that was once mine.
I never thought you would mind
I never expected you to be bothered, but now I can sense that you are.
But I can guess you do
Expressing an assumption that the other person is upset about the time taken away.
