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
 Fiddle 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 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 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
