Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Livin' in the meadow, the mighty, mighty meadow
With too many people suckin' all the water
And my daddy was a farmer, he was a race car driver
He is a four leaf clover, he is the next messiah
[Verse 2]
Now he's livin' in the woods, the dark and dank woods
With a cocktail waitress who thinks she's an artist
Take her down to the river, split her right up the middle
Now it's gonna be trouble for a pregnant lamb and a con man
[Verse 3]
Now he sick in the clink, got his head in the sink
And the tumor gonna make a man outta him
Now my daddy was a chancer, he was a bad check bouncer
But he beat that cancer, he is a survivor
[Verse 4]
He's the next messiah
He's the next messiah
He's the next messiah
He's the next messiah
[Verse 5]
You cover it up, squeezin' it out
You're watchin' it bleed
You're watching' it all, takin' it back
She's down on her knees
When did she come to detest you?
[Verse 6]
Givin' it back, backin' you up
Nothin's for free
You're givin' it back for lockin' you up
Those terrible deeds
[Verse 7]
When will they come to arrest you?
When did she come to detest you?
[Verse 8]
When will they come to arrest you?
When did she come to detest you?
[Verse 9]
I'm gonna give my love to you one day, gotta bring it back
I'm gonna give my love to you one day, you gotta bring it back
I'm gonna give my love to you one day, gotta bring it back
(I want to tell you I love you, I want to tell you I love you)
I'm gonna give my love to you one day, you gotta bring it back
(I want to tell you I love you, I want to tell you I love you)
[Verse 10]
I want to tell you I love you, I want to tell you I love you
(I want to tell you I love you, I want to tell you I love you)
Well, I'm gonna go out for a walk, you better be here when I get back
I want to tell you I love you, I want to tell you I love you
I'm gonna go out walkin' babe, you better be here when I get back
[Verse 11]
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 12]
Well, I'm gonna give my love to you one day, you gotta bring it back
I'm gonna give my love to you one day, gotta bring it back
I want to tell you I love you, I want to tell you I love you
[Verse 13]
Ooh
[Verse 14]
He's the next messiah
He's the next messiah
He's the next messiah
He's the next messiah
