John, deliver me
Dear John, release in me
Oh John, when I swallow you
Johnny, I holler ooh
John, come baptize me
I was blind, now I see
The world is a better place
You've given me the saintly faith
I'm here to testify
I'm here to praise your name
I'm here to tell you
I need you in my bloody stream
Oh John when I swallow you
Johnny, Oh Johnny
Ohmygod
John come baptize me
I was blind but now I see
The world is a better place
You've given me the saintly faith
Feed me John
Feed me your saintly seed
You've given me the saintly faith
