Close friend of mine as a child fell into a slumber
|
No sign of life since '75
|
Then one day he just, what do you know
|
I guess God just called his number
|
|
He called me up he called me up and said
|
"I've been awake about a week
|
I'm thinking about asking the doctor
|
If he could put me back to sleep"
|
Then he laughed and said
|
"Hey all the girls they look the same"
|
Don't they know just what their mothers
|
Paid in blood, and tears to change
|
|
But the words that made me cry
|
The thing he softly said
|
It stayed with me, it keeps messing with my head
|
He said, "If Jesus Christ is alive and well
|
Then how come John & Elvis are dead?"
|
|
Youth, beautiful youth
|
We walked through the walls until we found the truth
|
And said "Change it, it's ugly just change it"
|
Everyone we used to know
|
Must have given up, so long ago
|
You can see it, it's written on their faces
|
And the inside of their clothes
|
|
But the words that made me cry
|
'Cos I knew just what they meant
|
He turned to me and said
|
"Hey boy, if Jesus Christ is alive and well
|
Then how come John & Elvis are dead?"
|
|
"Tell me if Jesus Christ is alive and well
|
Then how come Marvin & Elvis are dead?"
|
|
I said "If Jesus Christ is going to save us from ourselves
|
How come peace, love and Elvis are dead?"
