Showbread - The Jesus Lizard lyrics

I tried to run across the water and I sank into the deep

Listlessly beneath the sea, within it’s murky keep

I want to keep my dinner down but I threw it up today

See how agonizingly propelled without delay?

I can’t breathe and I don’t want to anymore

I can’t breathe and I don’t want to anymore

The Jesus lizard tried to love but it’s heart was made of lead

He could not move the way love does so he faked it all instead

The Jesus lizard wants to be the center of your ray of light

But any light he has yet to see, no light is in his sight

I tried to pull the nails from you

Out of your hands and feet

And when I tried I made you die and yet you came back for me

If I drag myself throughout this world

If I throw up everyday

Will you still see that I’m still here?

I’m waiting in all of my ways

I can’t breathe and I don’t want to anymore

I can’t breathe and I don’t want to anymore

I can’t breathe and I don’t want to anymore

I can’t breathe and I don’t want to anymore

The Jesus Lizard formed for himself

For Jesus he would not ache

With insects stuck between his teeth

He scurried ever so fake

"I am God" the lizard said

Alpha, omega end with me

The sun was hot upon his head

So he tried to run across the sea

I can’t breathe and I don’t want to anymore

I can’t breathe and I don’t want to anymore

I can’t breathe and I don’t want to anymore

I can’t breathe and I don’t want to anymore
