The Next Messiah

Livin' in the meadow

The mighty, mighty meadow

With too many people

Suckin' all the water

And my daddy was a farmer

He was a racecar driver

He is a four leaf clover

He is the next messiah

Now he's living in the woods

The dark and dank woods

With a cocktail waitress

Who thinks she's an artist

Take it down to the river

Split it right up the middle

Now it's gonna be trouble

For a pregnant lamb and a con man

Now he's sick in the clink

With his head in the sink

And the tumor gonna make a

Man outta him

Now, my daddy was a chancer

He was a bad-check bouncer

But he beat that cancer

He's a survivor

He's the next messiah

He's the next messiah

He's the next messiah

He's the next messiah

Covering it up

Squeezing it out

Watching it bleed

You're watching it all

Taking it back

She's down on her knees

When did she come to detest you?

Giving it back

Backing you up

Nothing's for free

You're giving it back

For locking you up

Those terrible deeds

When will they come to arrest you?

When did she come to detest you?

When will they come to arrest you?

When did she come to detest you?

I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back

I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back

(I want to tell you I love you) I'm gonna give my love to you

(I want to tell you I love you) on a day you gotta bring it back

(I want to tell you I love you) I'm gonna give my love to you

(I want to tell you I love you) on a day you gotta bring it back

I want to tell you I love you

I want to tell you I love you

(I'm gonna go out walking baby) I want to tell you I love you

(Better be here when I get back) I want to tell you I love you

(I'm gonna go out walking baby) I want to tell you I love you

(Better be here when I get back) I want to tell you I love you

I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back

I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back

I want to tell you I love you

I want to tell you I love you

He's the next messiah

He's the next messiah

He's the next messiah

He's the next messiah
