[01:14.91] Close friend of mine as a child fell into a slumber [01:26.52] No sign of life since '75 [01:30.01] Then one day he just, what do you know [01:34.69] I guess God just called his number [01:37.86] He called me up he called me up and said [01:42.26] I've been awake about a week [01:47.91] I'm thinking about asking the doctor [01:51.29] If he could put me back to sleep [01:55.31] Then he laughed and said [01:57.51] Hey all the girls they look the same [02:01.71] Don't they know just what their mothers [02:05.84] Paid in blood, and tears to change [02:08.73] But the words that made me cry [02:12.41] The thing he softly said [02:15.76] It stayed with me, it keeps messing with my head [02:18.98] He said, "If Jesus Christ is alive and well [02:24.36] Then how come John and Elvis are dead?" [02:30.88] Youth, beautiful youth [02:36.67] We walked through the walls until we found the truth [02:39.36] And said "Change it, it's ugly just change it" [02:45.89] Everyone we used to know [02:48.20] Must have given up, so long ago [02:51.77] You can see it, it's written on their faces [02:56.04] And the inside of their clothes [03:01.52] But the words that made me cry [03:06.57] 'Cause I knew just what they meant [03:09.40] He turned to me and said [03:15.62] "Hey boy, if Jesus Christ is alive and well [03:22.44] Then how come John and Elvis are dead?" [03:34.57] "Tell me if Jesus Christ is alive and well [03:46.28] Then how come Marvin and Elvis are dead?" [03:52.48] I said "If Jesus Christ is going to save us from ourselves [03:59.83] How come peace, love and Elvis are dead?" [04:08.90]
