Jesus Was an Alien

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

Jesus was an alien
Flying through space
And God was an astronaut, who said "boy I like your face"
So the story began

Girl 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

Jesus was an alien
Flying through space
And God was an astronaut, who said "boy I like your face"
So the story began

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

Jesus was an alien
Flying through space
And God was an astronaut, who said "boy I like your face"
So the story began

Jesus was an alien
Flying through space
And God was an astronaut, who said "boy I like your face"
So the story began

That's the story from my side, to your side
Would you be happier if I was only half the man I am
You could shadow me and dare me to come in
I could lie to you and say I didn't mean it
But it really doesn't matter when you stop to think about it

All is nothing in moderation
It's a dirty feeling and it makes you stronger
Well I believe I'm just plain tired
The end is coming she don't even feel it
It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy
Well I believe I'm just plain tired, I'm tired

Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if I
Built a wall around your heart
And dared you to come in
I can lie to you
Say I didn't mean it
But hurts a funny thing, hurts a funny thing

All is nothing in moderation
It's a dirty feeling and it makes you stronger
Well I believe I'm just plain tired
The end is coming she don't even feel it
It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy
Well I believe I'm just plain tired

All is nothing in moderation
It's a dirty feeling and it makes you stronger
Well I believe I'm just plain tired
The end is coming she don't even feel it
It's a strange sensation, I'm almost happy
Well I believe I'm just plain tired
Shut your violence, keep your head down,
Watch your anger boy, realize you could lose
This is violence, look for reason
This don't have to make sense to anybody at all
Then everybody, won't you swing

No still don't mean nothin'
Words written all over the concrete
All over the concrete
Rage gets you out, so you swing

Don't wanna, don't wanna talk anymore
Bring boy, can you bring me down
Can you swing
Don't wanna, don't wanna talk anymore

Don't wanna, don't wanna talk anymore
Bring boy, can you bring me down
Can you swing
Don't wanna, don't wanna talk anymore
Tired

You've been talking for an hour, and I swear to God that I can't hear a word you say
So would you come to me, come to me
I get caught up and the waves of conversation they wash over me
And they cover me, they cover me

Should I just pack my things and leave
Would I be a bigger man if I built a wall around your heart and dared you to come in
I could lie to you and say I didn't mean it
But hurts a funny thing and it makes you stronger

All is nothing in moderation
It's a dirty feeling and it makes you stronger
Well I believe I'm just plain tired

There's a funny way your lip shakes when I know that you've been lying, and it touches me
It comforts me, it comforts me
I guess I should be satisfied, did you say you love me half the time
Well let's settle there, we can build from there, build from there
Swing

Still don't mean nothin'
Was written on the concrete
The words weren't on my tongue
Cause we don't talk about it
Day or no evenin', fashion or superman
Just little warped people
With little black minds

Well I wasn't sure just what to think
Say the lights went out
Somebody, somebody swing

Don't wanna, don't wanna talk anymore
Somebody swing
Don't wanna talk no… no

What if we're tainted
Who can we lie to
What if we're dying
Would you just walk around it

Well I wasn't sure just what to think
Say the lights went out
Somebody, somebody swing
Don't wanna, don't wanna talk anymore
Bring boy, can you bring me down
Can you swing
Don't wanna, don't wanna talk anymore
Dizzy

And outside, the sky is falling
People dodging raindrops, staying dry
And inside, I never gave a damn about those outside people anyway
And it hurt me
They don't even know who I am

And inside, there's no rainbows
And inside, I try I try I try, I try to clear my head
And outside, the rain is drying
And inside, I'm dying

'Cause in here, I'm staring at the rings my coffee cup has made on the table
And in here, I know I know I know, that this is as good as it gets
And in time I hope to be the one that talks about the other half
Until then, I count the cracks on the wall
Until it's time to lay my head
And inside, I play with shadows
And inside, I know I know I know, that I'll feel this way all day, all day
And outside, there's hope for trying
And inside, I'm dying

You walk before me, lord knows I can't follow
You walk behind me and I don't think I can lead
You walk around me, please don't walk around me
'Cause you know how dizzy I get
Loss, Strain & Butterflies

He got bad, and she got mad, and he lowered one more time
And she got even
No one heard a single word and as the clock ticked from next door
I could hear her breathing

And I said good morning Mrs. Sumner I would like you to meet my friend Mr. Jones
He has a house made out of butterflies
I can't sleep sometimes but I've been told
It's a lonely condition called growing old
Let me stumble sometimes
