Flaming Lips

Shine on Sweet Jesus: Jesus Song No. 5

Waitin' for my ride

Jesus is floatin' outside

(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)

Watchin' the water rise

I'm gettin' lost in the tide

(cry all your teardrops on me)

While I'm still myself,

Your blankets covered me

Covered me while I was still asleep

Watchin' the planets shine

Reflecting yourself in the sky

(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)

Scraping these smiles of mine

Impossible one at a time

(cry all your teardrops on me)

While I'm still myself,

Your blankets covered me

Covered me while I was still asleep

Jesus is at my side,

Wondering what he will find

(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)

Watchin' the water rise

I'm gettin' lost in the tide

(cry all your teardrops on me)

While I'm still myself

Your blankets covered me

Covered me while I was still asleep
