I saw Jesus again
(the guy is everywhere).
It was after a gig
as I walked alone
down an empty street
I looked up and saw a glowing light
from a window and there he was
sitting on the couch
of his studio apartment
with his girlfriend
their faces shining in the light
of their individual laptops
as the room glowed blue
from a television show
no one was watching
and I wondered what he does
to afford the rent in this town
and I must admit
I was disappointed to see him
their faces shining in the light
of their individual laptops
as the room glowed blue
from a television show
no one was watching
and I wondered what he does
to afford the rent in this town
and I must admit
I was disappointed to see him
wearing a flannel shirt
in September.
