ELVIS COSTELLO - Complicated Shadows lyrics

rate me

Well you know your time has come and you're sorry for what you've done<br>You should've never have been playing with a gun<br>In those complicated shadows<br>Well there's a line that you must toe<br>And it'll soon be time to go<br>But it's darker than you know in those complicated shadows<br><br>All you gangsters and rude clowns<br>Who were shooting up the town<br>When you should have found someone to put the blame on<br>Though the fury's hot and hard<br>I still see that cold graveyard<br>There's a solitary stone that's got your name on<br><br>You don't have to take it from me<br>But I know what I spake<br>You think you're like iron and steel<br>But iron and steel will bend and break<br>In those complicated shadows<br><br>Go!<br><br>Sometimes justice you will find<br>Is just dumb not colour-blind<br>And your poor shattered mind can't take it all in<br>All those phantoms and those shades<br>Should jump up on judgement day<br>And say to the almighty I'm still stinking of sin<br><br>But the jury was dismissed<br>Took his neck and they give it a twist<br>So you see you won't be missed in those complicated shadows<br><br>You can say just what you like in a voice like a john ford film<br>Take the law into your hands<br>You will soon get tired of killing<br>In those complicated shadows<br>Complicated shadows<br>Complicated shadows<br>Complicated shadows<br><br>Go!
