adeem the artist - fast cars lyrics

Loading...

[verse]
when jesus christ was 12 years old
he stumbled down the streets of marlboro golds
a little thirsty for a hand to hold
or anyone to elevate his name

burned a juniper smudge at dawn
danced round with nothing but his skivvies on
to a yet unwritten ray wylie hubbard song
but he knew every lyric all the same

he cried out “allah!” in the early morn
“where that i was somehow a human born
i’d cast our daemons & calm the storm
from the window of my little red pontiac.”

[chorus]
jesus christ likes fast cars
pedal to the metal because he’s lord
never had a whip that didn’t have two doors
jesus christ likes fast cars

[verse]
with a snap of god’s fingers the dead was done
jesus woke up as the chosen one
he was swaddled in the tunic of a virgin
listening for jingling of keys
stretched his legs out, learned to walk
memorized scripture till he could talk
but he daydreamed stick shifts & peeling off
into a palestinian dream

so he cried out, “lord if this cup should pass?
i don’t wanna live here if i can’t drive fast.”
so god opened the sky up & welcomed him back
with the keys to a little red pontiac

[chorus]
jesus christ likes fast cars
pedal to the metal because he’s lord
never had a whip that didn’t have two doors
jesus christ likes fast cars, testify

[solo]

now he’s burning through sp+ce in a blaze of smoke
peeling wheels through the stars with a manual choke
he’s playing judas priest loud on the radio
with a little hint of humor in his eye

turned the oceans to wine on a planet out there
gets all the animals drunk and he doesn’t care
and every once in a while he remembers back here
where he first got his longing to drive
[chorus]
jesus christ likes fast cars
magical hooch and loud guitars
never had a whip that didn’t have two doors
jesus christ likes fast cars
