lyrics

Satan's clever but I can beat him
Spend most days trying to learn to cheat him
Beckon him, and then I run so far
But the bastard always seems to find me
Curled up with God beside me
And nothing changes, nothing but the scars

So I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I got my plastic Jesus
Sitting on the dashboard of my car
Comes in colors pink and pleasant
Glows in the dark 'cause it's iridescent
Take it if you travel far

And then get yourself a new Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on
A pedestal of abalone shell
Going ninety I ain't scary
'Cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assuring me that I won't go to hell

So I don't know if we're apes or spirits
All I know is I don't go near it
'Cause I don't care if it's nothing just as well
I guess I'm just a thing that breathes
Trying to have a laugh in between
And hoping the next one will be grand

So I don't care if it rains or freezes
As long as I got plastic Jesus
Sitting on the dashboard of my car
Comes in colors pink and pleasant
Glows in the dark 'cause it's iridescent
Take it if you travel far

And then get yourself a sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on
A pedestal of abalone shell
Going ninety but I ain't scary
'Cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assuring me that I won't go to hell

So fuck this shit I've had enough
Trying to make a living shaking tin cups
And waiting on the kindness of a friend
Family, it ain't much better
Loyal as an opened letter
Well goodbye, fare thee well, the end
