My Jesus Phase

Let me forget the words
Let me forget the time
I'll drink whiskey for
Courage, something more
A line, a look, a borrowed book
I'll weep and roll or deal and fold
I could lie
He could try
For me

A castle without a cave
Two plants without a grave
Who's been buried there?
The paragraph ends here
The Nice and the Good misunderstood
The dream, the trance
This awkward dance
I could lie
He could try
For me

I would know
Take it slow for peace of mind
Don't lust and cheat

Galaxy Bar alone
Universe far from home
Exhale, slowly breathe
A lion without teeth
Who throws the ring and breaks the plates
Attempts to lock the open gates
How will I
How will he find me?

I'll live just once a day
At least we can safely say
Take my Jesus phase
Let me paraphrase
It's love and trees and fruit and love
It's science and fiction and all above me
How will I
How will he find me?

I would know
Take it slow
For peace of mind
Don't lust and cheat
