Last night I met the king
The king of all dreamers
And he said the weirdest thing
That you were either
With him or against him
Relax and have a drink
But don't take this the wrong way
Your thinkin' is out of sync
That's why you're lonely
There's more to life than sitting...
Sitting telling stories 'bout the King, c'mon
Memphis of the mind
Memphis of the mind
Memphis of the mind
He had a special car
Her name was Gladys
And he took it way too far
Just Cadillac nonsense
He thought he understood
It was all clear to him
C'mon Memphis of the mind
Memphis of the mind
Cross to the other side
It's a state of mind, just Memphis
Memphis of the mind
There's more to life than sitting...
Just sitting around telling stories 'bout the King, c'mon
Memphis of the mind
Memphis of the mind
Cross to the other side
It's a state of mind
Just Memphis
Memphis of the mind
You've gotta cross to the other side
He took it all too far
