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 / Fidget 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 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
