Jesus said he's going to Texas
He told me last night in a dream, you know
And when he gets himself to Texas,
He's gonna knock down the church doors with his love
You know they say the end is corning
They're going to ring the Liberty Bell
And all the faithful will come running
And all the rest can go to hell, to hell
But I won't, I won't fall down,
Welcome to Upside Town
In the country of Lost and Found,
Where everybody's stumbling around,
The tv's blaring its sound
I've got to kill a mountain lion
And all they gave me was this hammer in my hand
I can't keep myself from cryin
I'm gonna steal a knife and slit his throat instead
We wipe our feet, but they don't come clean
The mud is thick, the way is long
I'll push my shopping cart to New Orleans,
Even though it's far away from home, my home
But I won't, I won't fall down,
Welcome to Upside Town
In the country of Lost and Found
Where everybody's stumbling around
The tv's blaring its sound
I found some hope, in my dog's eyes was a compass rose.
Locked in his sights, I felt the glow of the morning light, the morning light, hey yeah
Jesus said he's going to Texas.
