Lyrics

[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
