Woorden: Graham Parker. Weeping Statues.

Weeping statues, Elvis sightings
Visitations, man struck by lightning
Everyday someone gets a sign
It rips apart the fabric of their daily lives

Is it fear of flying
That keeps us rooted to the ground?
Everyone is dying to stay
Trapped and gagged and bound

The blind girl saw it, the deaf man heard it
The cripple stood up and walked towards it
The handless man wrote it down to report it

The moron changed the words around to distort it
Ahh, his hand was steady and his mind was clear to think
But it came out in black and white, written in invisible ink

Weeping statues, Elvis sightings
Stained glass window, man struck by lightning
Every minute someone loses control
And sees things how they really are

And not how they're told but statues only weep for some
And Elvis just shows up when he's hungry
Lightning strikes at everyone
But only hits the very lucky

Weeping statues, weeping, weeping
Elvis sightings, Elvis sightings, yeah
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday
Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday

Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh
