Music, Lyrics and Performance by W G Preston
The inspiration for this song originally came from a movie I watched as a kid called "Against the Crooked Sky". It has nothing to do with Elvis but hey it's got to start somewhere. A great movie by the way. The song evolved over the years and after some friends pushed me to record it this is what came out. I hope you like it and form your own opinion on it's deeper meaning.

Lyrics
Left in the middle of the desert alive.
Left out here just staring at the sky.
The sun beats down, my hands are tied.
There's no place I can run to or hide.
105 degrees, no shade from the trees and it's only getting hotter in this world of make believe. Thought I closed my eyes, I can still see and I thought I saw Elvis. Yeah I thought I saw Elvis and I thought I saw, Yeah I thought I saw Elvis and I thought I saw, thought I saw.
Looking for my soul, thought I put it in a box, next to the TV. Killing myself trying to be somebody else, I just want to be me.
I gotta pay bills and climb the hills, I'm not dead yet and I'm trying to feel. I'm only human.
105 degrees, no shade from the trees and it's only getting hotter in this world of make believe. Thought I closed my eyes, I can still see and I thought I saw Elvis. Yeah I thought I saw Elvis and I thought I saw, Yeah I thought I saw Elvis and I thought I saw, thought I saw. Yeah I thought I saw Elvis and I thought I saw.
105 degrees, no shade from the trees and it's only getting hotter in this, world of make believe. When you close your eyes, tell me what you see. Millions dying and the rest are filled with greed. Just, let me by and have a, have a drink on me.
Thought I saw, thought saw Elvis. Thought I saw, thought saw Elvis. Yeah I thought, thought I saw Elvis. Thought I saw, thought saw Elvis. Thought I saw, thought saw Elvis. Yeah I thought, thought I saw Elvis.
