lyrics

i caught cancer staring at a television screen
when i told my mother she said, 'that's just what you need'
i said, 'mom, i think i'm dying. what's the prayer i'm supposed to say?'
she said, 'l-m-n-o-peace with jesus pray my soul escapes'

i'm not ready to fly
i just read my lines
is it because of my lies?
well i meant every one

christening the criss-cross christian infant in denial
i inherit heresy like babies on the Nile
i caught cancer staring at a television screen
when i told my savior he said, 'oh my, that was me'

i'm not ready to fly
i just read my lines
is it because of my lies?
well i meant every one

i rolled up my own ashes in a page of Matthew's gospel
John and three sixteen year olds were smoking till the tomb rolled open
then we made friends
