Next Messiah

livin' in the meadow,

the mighty, mighty meadow,

with too many people

suckin' all the water.

and my daddy was a farmer,

he was a racecar driver,

he is a four leaf clover

he is the next messiah.

now he's living in the woods

the dark and dank woods

with a cocktail waitress

who thinks she's an artist.

so go down to the river

split it right up the middle

now it's gonna be trouble

for a pregnant lamb and a con man

now he's sick in the clink

with his head in the sink

and the tumor's gonna make a

man outta him

now, my daddy was a chancer

he was a bad-check bouncer

but he beat that cancer.

he is a survivor.

he's the next messiah (x5)

covering it up,

squeezing it out,

watching it bleed.

you're watching it all,

taking it back.

she's down on her knees.

when did she come to detest you?

giving it back,

backing you up,

nothing's for free.

you're giving it back,

for locking you up,

those terrible deeds.

when will they come to arrest you?

when did she come to detest you?

when will they come to arrest you?

when did she come to detest you?

i'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back. (x4)

i want to tell you I love you. (x4)

i want to tell you I love you. (x5)

I'm gonna go out walking baby, better be here when I get back.(x2)

I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back. (x2)

I want to tell you I love you. (x2)

he's the next messiah. (x4)
