Close friend of mine as a child fell into a slumberNo sign of life since '75Then one day he just, what do you knowI guess God just called his numberHe called me up he called me up and saidI've been awake about a weekI'm thinking about asking the doctorIf he could put me back to sleepThen he laughed and saidHey all the girls they look the sameDon't they know just what their mothersPaid in blood, and tears to changeBut the words that made me cryThe thing he softly saidIt stayed with me, it keeps messing with my headHe said, If Jesus Christ is alive and wellThen how come John & Elvis are dead?Youth, beautiful youth[John & Elvis Are Dead lyrics on http://www.elyricsworld.com]We walked through the walls until we found the truthAnd said Change it, it's ugly just change itEveryone we used to knowMust have given up, so long agoYou can see it, it's written on their facesAnd the inside of their clothesBut the words that made me cry'Cos I knew just what they meantHe turned to me and saidHey boy, if Jesus Christ is alive and wellThen how come John & Elvis are dead?Tell me if Jesus Christ is alive and wellThen how come Marvin & Elvis are dead?I said If Jesus Christ is going to save us from ourselvesHow come peace, love and Elvis are dead?
