Weeping Statues Lyrics by Graham Parker

Weeping Statues Lyrics

    pre>capo at 4 intro: em am (twice)

    Em am em am
    Weeping statues elvis sightings visitations man struck by lightning
    Em am em am
    Everyday someone gets a sign it rips apart the fabric of their daily lives
    Am c d c
    Is it fear of flying that keeps us rooted to the ground
    Am c d
    Everyone is trying 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
    Ah his hand was steady and his mind was clear to think
    But it came out in black and white written in invisible ink (intro and solo)

    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
    /pre>
