Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I love you, Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, I love you
Yes I do
[Verse 2]
I love you, Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, I love you
Yes I do
[Verse 3]
And on the lazy days
The dogs dissolve and drain away
The world, it goes
And always waits
The day we are awaiting
[Verse 4]
Up and over, we go through the wave and undertow
I will float until I learn how to swim
Inside my mother in a garbage bin
Until I find myself again, again
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[Verse 5]
Up and over we go, mouths open wide and spitting snow
I will spit until I learn how to speak
Up through the doorway as the sideboards creek
With them ever proclaiming me, me, oh
[Verse 6]
Up and over we go, the weight it sits on down and I don't know
I will shout until they know what I mean
I mean the marriage of a dead dog sing
And a synthetic flying machine, machine
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Okay
