Graham Parker & The Figgs - Weeping Statues lyrics

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 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 Weeping statues Elvis sightings Stained gla** 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
