thomas anderson - lincoln in a leisure suit lyrics

[verse 1]
lincoln in a leisure suit stood before the cross
and pointing at the teenagers told them they were lost
in a bicentennial fury he glared across the pews
dividing up the world into the romans and the jews

and the girl in the pacer
with braces and blonde hair
drove past a field of scarecrows
and she disappeared out there

while in the gravel parking lot
right off golgotha’s hill
the mocking birds were screaming
that all we had was timе to k!ll

do you recall that movie, j.w. coop?
and how that hippie girl lеft at the moment of truth
your trampled and your torn
‘neath the world’s hooves and h+rns
and you’ve been dying in your boots since the day your born

[verse 2]
on the road to damascus
we were driving like the blind
we always missed the exits while waiting for the signs
all the martyrs on the church bus
singing “mary’s in the light”
in the year of lindsay wagner, it was graduation night
the angels held a flaming sword guarding eden’s gate
i said, “can i go back there?”
but they told me it’s too late

alice cooper’s gone to hollywood
and the town has gone to h+ll
h+llo, i’m from the future
though i know it’s hard to tell

[bridge]
across snake river canyon
on a rocket powered flight
you pulled the chute too soon
when your fame was at its height

and you landed in the state fairs
and you’ve worn your tires bare
but you just can’t get no traction
and the roads don’t go nowhere

[verse 3]
i was asking gilda radner
when i met her in a dream
“is this manna from heaven, or is it just ice cream?”
i try hard to believe
but i’m failing every time
i woke up to my 8+track playing angel #9
and the devil’s playing pinball
and he’s winning every game
and the bowling alley baptists just ignore him all the same
i did everything i knew but i tilted every time
and i’m tired of breathing smoke so i think i’ll step outside

and may god keep the faithful
who search the interstates
for a girl in a pacer with oklahoma plates
now i don’t mind the wait
cause you see we have a date
so don’t be surprised if we’re not home til very late
