jesus bought a gun

i stutter as i'm muttering about how to seize the day
and my love of crapes and coffee at morning's break
well speech and impediments are all well and tr-true
but i dont understand how i'm supposed to love you
i say i do

caverns of mouths open wide before my eyes
swallowing pools of golden sugared waters in reprise
and these caves of stalagmites are mighty warm and wet
tongues lash back and eat away at my sweat my sweat my sweat
am i eaten yet?

birds flock
baptists sing
hearts can't walk
souls can't cling
my endless knot
it came undone
buddha's a scout club dropout
and jesus bought a gun.

i hum as i'm hovering over my cherry pie
its warm as south texas, its soft as golden rye
four and twenty blackbirds are singing on the sill
cats in the alleyway, cherried lips un-wiped still
i'm never filled

elastic fills my empty thoughts with bouncy balls of red
as my whole life falls to pieces rearranging in my head
if robin was an outlaw maybe i can rob the rich
and the poor will love me more, they'll love to scratch my itch
and i'll always be popular
and you'll always be here
and i'll never be angular
and you'd know how, my dear
you'd never fear

birds flock
baptists sing
hearts can't walk
souls can't cling
my endless knot
it came undone
buddha's a scout club dropout
and jesus bought a gun.
