put down my thoughts in a letter to the president

penciled and packaged with all due respect

elvis commemoratives just for effect

never heard back: you think you know a guy

wired my congrats to chuck and di some time ago

all my love to the queen

my invitation was lost in the mail

but i know i was missed when they kissed 'neath the veil

i sent a nice gift: never got a note

chorus:

but my closet's a shrine to an old friend of mine

here i talk all the time with a prophet, priest....

i pull out boxes and brooms and i gush like a groom

for it's here i commune with a prophet, priest and king



if i indeed am misperceived by some heads of state

hey, that's great

'cause i talk to a prophet who tells me the truth

and i dine with a king at my home in duluth

better yet i'm in touch with a much needed friend

who hears my confessions and pardons my sin
