Complicated Shadows Lyrics

Elvis Costello

Well you know your time has come and you're sorry for what you've doneYou should've never have been playing with a gunIn those complicated shadowsWell there's a line that you must toeAnd it'll soon be time to goBut it's darker than you know in those complicated shadowsAll you gangsters and rude clownsWho were shooting up the townWhen you should have found someone to put the blame onThough the fury's hot and hardI still see that cold graveyardThere's a solitary stone that's got your name onYou don't have to take it from meBut I know what I spakeYou think you're like iron and steelBut iron and steel will bend and breakIn those complicated shadowsGo!Sometimes justice you will findIs just dumb not colour-blindAnd your poor shattered mind can't take it all inAll those phantoms and those shadesShould jump up on judgement dayAnd say to the almighty I'm still stinking of sinBut the jury was dismissedTook his neck and they give it a twistSo you see you won't be missed in those complicated shadowsYou can say just what you like in a voice like a john ford filmTake the law into your handsYou will soon get tired of killingIn those complicated shadowsComplicated shadowsComplicated shadowsComplicated shadowsGo!
