Pills and Jesus


  Jesus died for my sins
talk about a no win-win
gunned down in 1963
in Dallas Texas on TV
I was born in 92
when there was nothing left to do
got bored got hooked then got away
hid myself in the fray

Incense, water, bread and wine
swallow, purging all the time
bowl haircuts and corduroys
my older brother's christmas toys
lady luck and the prom queen
may crownings and benzedrene
church and school and CCD
because they let us in for free

Pills and Jesus
one more day
therapy is here to stay

Four eyes and a mixed up head
beercans underneath the bed
short skirts, fruit, and snakes
and time to transubstantiate
broken windows, convenient stores
vipers and expensive whores
no work and no play
fighting to keep the chills at bay

Am I crazy or growing up
still got this feeling in my gut
even when I hit my marks
I'm still afraid of the dark
knees are no place for a man
already doing all he can
if I prostrate myself on the floor
make her love me a little more

Pills and Jesus
I got it made
ain't nobody left to save

 

Where from? Pete Townshend's Ghost
