Jesus Was An Alien
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Elvis is alive at your local grocery store
And if you believe that well then sit down and I'll tell you more
Lee Harvey Oswald, well you know he acted alone
And Charlie Manson only wanted to make his house a home(chorus)
Jesus was an alien
Flying through space
And God was an astronaut, who said "boy I like your face"
So the story beganGirl I love you and the check is in the mail
I found religion inside myself
I drank the blood the flesh was stale
Reach in your pockets, and give us all you can
You know the one that's going to heaven is gonna be the richer man(chorus)I see you shaking boy, do you find it hard to believe
That the one you been living for would cut your wrist to watch you bleed
You found that the truth is a lie and it makes you feel unwell
But the church of the almighty dollar is all we have to save us from hell(chorus)
