Lyrics
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 sins

Chorus

Prophet, priest and king (x4)
