Elvis Crashed The Party

        
The party is dissolved and      
it is trench warfare           
As my military brother in    
Cannes      
reports           
Elsie wears local leather jackets and                
stays up all night          
           
The girl and I were on vacation on our                
way home              
All governments were out              
The salt water hit the bottom of the                
sand              
It was full of people who didn't                
understand              
       
Why did we decide to stay away from                
the war?              
Their anxiety drove us out of town              
Areas to where old houses can be built                
or demolished              
Not bad, not a game          
           
It was forbidden to go with Elsie    
though                            
But we broke the law and went over to
the window              
And the sun was brighter than the                
hydrogen bomb
