Elvis Look-alike Shadows
Back in the wretched day
I was ill-shapen clay
And suffering didn't fit me
I could stand up and sing
Fiddle with a shoestring
And act as if you'd bruised me
Just one yawn from a crowd
The sun went down behind the clouds
And I'd put it down to the clown with the frown
Doing the sound
Just then I saw the risen king
Sitting in a boxing ring
And he was looking at me
I don't know what he was thinking
But I think I saw him winking
Like he's thinking of me
They were dejected days
Of a has-been-delayed
I caught the pendulums wincing
I'd paid over the odds
For my seat in the gods
Could've sworn that was a good thing
But now the wind kinda blows
The moon sorta glows
And the black cloud overhead throws
Elvis look-alike shadows
On the driven snow
You know I saw the risen king
Sitting in a boxing ring
And he was looking at me
I don't know what he was thinking
But I think I saw him winking
Like he's thinking of me
They were restless days
On occasion got paid
Is there anyone listening?
God knows I've prayed
Still I'm waylaid
Is there anybody listening?
I saw the king of kings, y'know
Live on The Ed Sullivan Show
He was looking at me
I don't know what he was thinking
But I think I saw him winking
Like he's thinking of me
He was risen from the tomb
We're drinking in the Jungle Room
It's just him and me
I don't know what I've been drinking
But I swear I saw him winking
Like he's thinking of me
Back in the wretched day
I was ill-shapen clay
I was ill-shapen clay
And suffering didn't fit me
I could stand up and sing
Fiddle with a shoestring
And act as if you'd bruised me
Just one yawn from a crowd
The sun went down behind the clouds
And I'd put it down to the clown with the frown
Doing the sound
Just then I saw the risen king
Sitting in a boxing ring
And he was looking at me
I don't know what he was thinking
But I think I saw him winking
Like he's thinking of me
They were dejected days
Of a has-been-delayed
I caught the pendulums wincing
I'd paid over the odds
For my seat in the gods
Could've sworn that was a good thing
But now the wind kinda blows
The moon sorta glows
And the black cloud overhead throws
Elvis look-alike shadows
On the driven snow
You know I saw the risen king
Sitting in a boxing ring
And he was looking at me
I don't know what he was thinking
But I think I saw him winking
Like he's thinking of me
They were restless days
On occasion got paid
Is there anyone listening?
God knows I've prayed
Still I'm waylaid
Is there anybody listening?
I saw the king of kings, y'know
Live on The Ed Sullivan Show
He was looking at me
I don't know what he was thinking
But I think I saw him winking
Like he's thinking of me
He was risen from the tomb
We're drinking in the Jungle Room
It's just him and me
I don't know what I've been drinking
But I swear I saw him winking
Like he's thinking of me
Back in the wretched day
I was ill-shapen clay
