Babe, you're getting closer
The lights are goin' dim
The sound of your breathin'
Has made the mood I'm in
All of my resistance
Is lying on the floor
Taking me to places
I've never been before
Ooh, and I can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, way on down
Ooh, my head is spinnin'
You got me in your spell,
A hundred magic fingers
On a swirling carousel
The medicine within me
No doctor could prescribe
Your love is doing something
That I just can't describe
Ooh, and I can feel it,
Feel it, feel it, feel it
Way down where the music plays
Way down like a tidal wave
Way down where the fires blaze
Way down, down, down , way on down
Hold me again,
As Tight as you can
I need you so,
Baby, let's go
Way down where it feels so good
Way down where I hoped it would
Way down where I never could
Way down, down, way on down, way on down

Was this the last song he recorded? If not, which was is it?
-
Wow, great song, but there's definitely something different between this one and his other songs. I wonder what would have happend with his style in the 80s and 90s.
-
I fel sorry for the younger generation around today that never had and never will have an ELVIS in their lives. He was truly the KING.

Funky.

This song is awesome. It was Elvis last number 1 in the UK.

@Jackiej61too had a no1 in uk since A little less conversation
-
@BBQFanNo1 It did peak @#18 in the weekly chart. I was talkin' in terms of the top 100 songs of '77. Have a blessed week!
-
@DaveWollenberg Should have been ranked higher than it was. Up there with Burning Love.
-
This track is the most haunting for me. Its use of synthesizers shows how close he was to my generation but sadly he never made it. He died when I was 3 months old.
