Flaming Lips - Jesus Shootin’ Heroin lyrics

WellI never really understood religions

Except it seems a good reason to kill.

Everybody's got their own conceptions

And you knowthey always will.

These days are needles under my skin.

Jesus shootin' heroin.

If there are priests at your party

And you're playing cards that are numbered

And you got no reason to think it

Until your chances are uncovered.

Tell me that I got to believe in

Jesus shootin' heroin.

The police in new york city

Chased a boyright through the park.

In a case of mistaken identities

They put a bullet through his heart.

I met maryon the corner with the streetlights.

She asked me if I'd come up to her room.

I told her that I didn't have no money.

She said she had to leave pretty soon.

I decided that I would go in.

Jesus shootin' heroin.
