Ben Folds - Jesusland lyrics

Take a walk

out the gate you go and never stop

past all the stores and wig shops

quarter in a cup for every block

and watch the buildings grow

smaller as you go

Down the tracks

beautiful McMansions on a hill

that overlook a highway

with riverboat casinos and you still

have yet to see a soul

Jesusland

Jesusland

Town to town

broadcast to each house, they drop your name

but no one knows your face

Billboards quoting things you'd never say

you hang your head and pray

for Jesusland

Jesusland

Miles and miles

and the sun goin' down

Pulses glow

from their homes

You're not alone

Lights come on

as you lay your weary head on their lawn

Parking lots

cracked and growing grass you see it all

from offices to farms

crosses flying high above the malls

A longer walk

through Jesusland

Jesusland
