securely he lived, locked in freedom
submitted to my will without a fight
still he lived, ate when i wanted him to
i can't believe elvis died last night.
orange and white, his beauty was amazing
as mesmerizing as the blue water light
fast and slow, he'd stop and then go
i can't believe elvis died last night.
hide and seek, he made me find
made me see how blurred was my sight
i laughed at how he lived, a clown truly he was
i can't believe elvis died last night.
'twas then when i came home to see my good friend
struggling for some air with all his might
i did all i could to help him live and live and live
i can't believe elvis died last night.
and while he's hid away in a box i'll never find
i can't stop thinking, elvis, it isn't right
elvis, my pet friend fish, is now long gone
i'll never believe elvis died last night.
