[00:37.73] |
Close friend of mine as a child |
[00:44.51] |
Fell into a slumber |
[00:55.46] |
No sign of life since seventy-five |
[01:02.29] |
Then one day he just what do you know |
[01:08.17] |
I guess God just called his number |
[01:13.80] |
We called me up he called me up and said |
[01:17.14] |
I've been awake about a week |
[01:21.27] |
I'm thinking about asking the doctor |
[01:25.75] |
If he could put me back to sleep |
[01:30.09] |
Then he laughed and said |
[01:32.79] |
Hey all the girls they look the same |
[01:38.47] |
Don't they know just what their mothers |
[01:45.89] |
Paid in blood and tears to change |
[01:50.82] |
But the words that made me cry |
[01:55.67] |
The thing he softly said |
[01:59.91] |
It stayed with me it keeps messing with my head |
[02:05.95] |
He said If Jesus Christ is alive and well |
[02:12.23] |
Then how come John and Elvis are dead |
[02:24.73] |
Youth beautiful youth |
[02:28.81] |
We walked through the walls until we found the truth |
[02:32.59] |
And said Change it |
[02:36.72] |
It's ugly just change it |
[02:43.45] |
Everyone we used to know |
[02:47.34] |
Must have given up so long ago |
[02:51.32] |
You can see it |
[02:54.17] |
It's written on their faces |
[02:57.45] |
And the inside of their clothes |
[03:02.29] |
But the words that made me cry |
[03:06.42] |
'Cos I knew just what they meant |
[03:11.76] |
He turned to me and said |
[03:17.04] |
Hey boy if Jesus Christ is alive and well |
[03:23.07] |
Then how come John and Elvis are dead |
[03:34.73] |
Tell me if Jesus Christ is alive and well |
[03:41.11] |
Then how come Marvin and Elvis are dead |
[03:52.52] |
I said If Jesus Christ is going to save us from ourselves |
[03:58.79] |
How come peace love and Elvis are dead |
