Close friend of mine as a child
Fell into a slumber
No sign of life since seventy-five
Then one day he just what do you know
I guess God just called his number
We 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 and 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 and Elvis are dead
Tell me if Jesus Christ is alive and well
Then how come Marvin and Elvis are dead
I said If Jesus Christ is going to save us from ourselves
How come peace love and Elvis are dead

That's all I wanted
In your eyes
For just one moment
To be bold and naked
At your side
Sometimes I think that you'll never
Understand me
Maybe this ti...
Well I guess it would be nice
If I could touch your body
I know not everybody
Has got a body like you
But I've got to think twice
Before I give my hea...
I was leaning on the grass dreaming of a sunnier day
Oh it never came how could it have baby
Where the present meets the past it's hard to be more tha...
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Something in your eyes
Calls to mind a silver screen
And all it...
looking for some education
made my way into the night
all that ****ing conversation
well baby can't you read the signs
I won't bore you with the detai...
