Do you know how Jesus feels
|
when he's behind his sportscar wheel
|
and the windscreen glass is all gummed up with blood?
|
Do you know how old Jesus feels?
|
|
For he walks the Earth again
|
but not in Mecca or in Jerusalem
|
No, he sells papers and beer in a shop in Crouch End [London, England]
|
For he walks the Earth again
|
|
CHORUS:
|
So viva dead ponies
|
Come out and fight me
|
Viva dead ponies
|
Customers: Drop dead
|
|
I have switched the fridges off
|
and I will burn down this whole stinking shop
|
I will get drunk and I will break every little Islamical [sic] law
|
for I have switched the fridges off--CHORUS
|
|
"I haven't made love in a while.
|
It's the best way to make a child,"
|
said Jesus to the disciples. He then further said, "If you can't shift this crate of Brillo pads by Friday, vengeance will be mine!"
|
|
So viva dead ponies
|
You're afraid to fight me
|
Customers--pay what you owe! [...?]!
|
Viva dead ponies
|
back from the circus
|
They lunched with Jesus
|
Fire in their noses all gone, all gone...
