Graham Parker - Weeping Statues lyrics

rate me

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
