Complicated Shadows Lyrics - Secret, Profane And Sugarcane - Elvis Costello

Well, you know your time has come 

And you're sorry for what you've done 

You should've never been playing with a gun 

In those complicated shadows 

Well, there's a line that you must tow 

And it'll soon be time to go 

But it's darker than you know 

In those complicated shadows 

All you gangsters and rude clowns 

Who were shooting up the town 

When you should have found 

Someone to put the blame on 

Though the fury's hot and hard 

I still see that cold graveyard 

There's a solitary stone 

That's got your name on

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

You don't have to take it from me 

But I know what I speak 

You think you're like iron and steel 

But iron and steel will bend and break 

In those complicated shadows 

Sometimes justice you will find 

Is just dumb not colorblind 

And your poor shattered mind 

Can't take it all in 

All those phantoms and those shades 

Should jump up on Judgment Day 

And say to the Almighty 

"I'm still stinking of sin" 

But the jury was dismissed 

Took his neck and they give it a twist 

So you see you won't be missed 

In those complicated shadows

You can say just what you like 

In a voice like a John Ford film 

Take the law into your hands 

You will soon get tired of killing 

In those complicated shadows
