Bottle Rocket

Welcome, dear listener Are you comfortable? Put your feet up, close your eyes Let your senses dull Float like a beach ball Wearing cordless phones Let the tide take you groove To the mellow tones Groovy Who switched the intro? Ah, but I digress Do you ever get that feeling You're not so fresh? Do you hang out nights at the launderette Dreaming of the cure for stubborn stains? Wanna climb into the big machine? Wonder how it feels getting really clean? I know you know more than What you're coming clean for God is skin on mohair Just admit you itch there Shift to the left, shift to the right Fidget, lock knees, cough cough, fidget Don't scratch, don't break out in a sweat Are we feeling comfortable yet? I know you know more than What you're coming clean for God is skin on mohair Just admit you itch there Ever sweat bullets At the sight of blood? Ever drag a half ton cross Through spit and mud? Wouldn't want to plan too far ahead Wouldn't want to dwell on what's beyond Pondering death is a dirty biz Makes you wonder when your appointment is Shift to the left, shift to the right Fidget, lock knees, cough cough, fidget Don't scratch, don't break out in a sweat Are we feeling comfortable yet? Loosen your tie, loosen your belt Clear your throat, fidget, cough cough, fidget Don't scratch, don't break out in a sweat Are we feeling comfortable yet? Fidget to the left, fidget to the right Lock knees, fidget, cough cough, fidget Don't scratch, don't break out in a sweat Are we feeling comfortable yet?

Telling folks to stay inside You've got light investigators Pulling shades and terrified You've got powers of the darkness Blowing smoke to dim the sky Your psychics look a little anxious Anybody out there wonder why? I've got a bottle rocket I've got a bottle rocket I've got a bottle rocket Got a little light to testify No power's gonna block it No darkness gonna stop it I've got a bottle rocket Gonna let it fly Let it fly You've got experts on retainer Bracing for the next attack You've got allies dimming lights From Hollywood to Doctor Jack You enact a good news blackout Think you've got us on the run? Well read the book of Acts and weep The light of Jesus can't be overcome I've got a bottle rocket I've got a bottle rocket I've got a bottle rocket Got a little light to testify No power's gonna block it No darkness gonna stop it I've got a bottle rocket Gonna let it fly Let it fly Light isn't light when it's found Bottle bound EPHESIANS 5:8 - MATTHEW 5:16 - JOHN 8:123

Each night the dream began We were sitting here waiting on our coffee cans Eyes fixed upon the skies I was thinking of you and if I qualified Then when the trumpet blew The reality hit, this wasn't pay-per-view My can lifted up and out Until a siren wailed and a megaphone shouted Pull that bucket over Let me see your registration You'll be questioned at the station by a good cop/bad cop If they find you guilty They'll impound your can in Hades Where the grounded lads and ladies had it good 'til the last drop I watched the others fly On their coffee cans as they waved goodbye Freed from the earthy grind They had escaped the roast, I'd been identified Dream police nowhere to be found I was left here choking on the muddy grounds I calmed down and reached for my Pez But the head on the dispenser was Juan Valdez Pull that bucket over Let me see your registration You'll be questioned at the station by a good cop/bad cop If they find you guilty They'll impound your can in Hades Where the grounded lads and ladies had it good 'til the last drop Tossing in my sleepa gain The metaphor was wearing thin Until my nightmare stretched it even more Lord, you placed the bitter cup Against your lips and drank it up To bring me where you are I can't believe I've wandered off this far Woke up and smelled the coffee I don't like what caffeine does to me God's got a pull I've felt first hand I've gotta stop believing in my coffee can Pull that bucket over Let me see your registration You'll be questioned at the station by a good cop/bad cop If they find you guilty They'll impound your can in Hades Where the grounded lads and ladies had it good 'til the last drop Bad dream, but I understand That you can't get to Heaven on a coffee can 1 CORINTHIANS 1:8 - PSALMS 27:1 - HEBREWS 12:2

I've been up I've been down But everything is just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine It's true Tougher skin? Guess again But not because I don't try, try, try, try I always do And I don't want nobody telling me I'm nobody I've got a revelation I'm a new creation, baby The world can't bring me down You think what? Why the rut? 'Cause if you're towing the line, line, line Those days are through You know it says it right here, right here Take a good look at this Intent No, you're no accident Why let life get you confused? Don't let anybody tell you you're nobody I've got a revelation You're a new creation, baby The world can't bring you down I've got a revelation You've been elevated, baby The world can't bring you down Big screen tells ya, "You gotta look this way You got no beauty beyond what you display" But don't they get it? It's what's inside you So take your place And don't ever hide your face All those fashion victims seem so aggravated Going with the flow is very overrated I've got a revelation You're a new creation, baby The world can't bring you down I've got a revelation You've been elevated, baby The world can't bring you down 2 CORINTHIANS 5:17- ROMANS 6:4 - 1 PETER 1:3-4

stood up You stayed in your chair You didn't get it You even looked put out But I had no doubt You'd see the change and someday do the same That was quite awhile ago The days are getting shorter They're expecting record lows If you could hear me pray tonight Would you be angry or surprised To hear your name announced Followed by a pause or even tears Like I've done for all these years The days are getting shorter I suspect it's gonna snow What does it take to make you see The love inside of me? What does it take to make you see The truth that I believe? What does it take to make you see The pain it's causing me? Why can't you see? The days are getting shorter But I won't surrender hope What does it take to make you see The love inside of me? What does it take to make you see The truth that I believe? Is there a stone I've left unturned? Is there a way I've not explored? What does it take to shake your world? To turn you to my Lord? ISAIAH 53:12 - ROMANS 8:28 - PHILLIPIANS 4:4-7

What was that crack I made? Swung a hammer wrapped in suede Like a lick from a lunatic beatnick Knock you senseless as I babble on I strike between the lines Hissing words in serpentine Backbiter with an appetite Coil and rattle, then I babble on Every time I add a line I wish I could subrtract Too late to take it back Conversations in veneer Sand 'em down, they're insincere Off guard, better check the cue card Got ghostwriters for my babble on So I communicate Intending to humiliate On attack with a cardiac comeback You take shelter, I take babble on Every time I add a line I wish I could subtract Too late to take it back And if talk is cheap, the price is high When I let another arrow fly Better to be seen and never heard Than to babble on with every word What was that crack I made? File a claim with medicaid All my rumors spread like tumors Tale and tattle, rant and rattle on Ugly as the sin it is Sold out to the slander biz Gotta keep the tongue in line Even fools seem wiser off the babble on Every time I add a line I wish I could subtract Too late to take it back And if talk is cheap, the price is high When I let another arrow fly Better to be seen and never heard Than to babble on with every word And if talk is cheap then why the thrill In an idle tongue that fires at will? Better to be silent and be strong Than to let my babble babble on Than to let my babble babble on Than to babble on JAMES 3:5-6 -PROVERBS 12:18 -PROVERBS 17:28

Bought me a bargain basement laboratory With a rack and a humpback elf Then I sewed together all the glory I'd collected To immortalize my good self Thought I'd build me a better Frankenstein But the monster turned on me No slobbering torchlit pitchfork mob Could ever kill this vanity Lord, you made every part of me I'm ready Break me down Won't you break me down Made me a really monumental monument I set each shiny brick And I grew so high a jet flew by And the fumes sort of made me sick If my Father shaped the universe Then why do I still insist On playing god when I'm a fraud I'm a certified narcissist You fashioned every part of me I'm ready Break me down Break me down Do what you do to me I know you see through me Break me down ECCLESIASTES 1:2 -PROVERBS 8:13 - PROVERBS 11:2

You know he's somewhere But you don't know if he cares About the way you live So you throw him up a prayer You hope he hears you But the odds are even split That when he answers You'll be ready to commit You've got a hobby and you play it every Sunday A little fire insurance keeps you coming back for more Nice man in the suit says you should live it every weekday You forgot by Monday Who knows, maybe someday You know he's somewhere But you don't know if he cares About the way you live So you throw him up a prayer You hope he hears you But the odds are even split That when he answers You'll be ready to commit Afraid to tell your friends You know what they'd be saying "Lost another buddy to the Jesus Lover's Club We knew him when he used to hurl at all our parties" Factory liquidation What a reputation You know he's somewhere But you don't know if he cares About the way you live So you throw him up a prayer You hope he hears you But the odds are even split That when he answers You'll be ready to commit One foot in the ocean and the sand is getting hotter Do you need a "JUMP" sign?

Esther called me today She's a bona fide star Said I spoke to a friend Who wants to know how you are With a shake in her voice She said, "I'm doing ok." With a shake in her voice She said, "I can't live this way." She doesn't know why She wants to laugh but still she cries Still she cries Spoke to Esther today She said it's hard to play queen Though she fought it at first This pain's become her routine And she wants to believe But the image won't play And she wants to believe But that's a long time away Kingdoms collide As she tries to rule the world inside She starts to cry Take that crown off my Queen Esther It's too much for anyone to bear Don't hide your face Queen Esther My King says he'll meet you anywhere He says it's ok He knows your pain He says it's ok He'll show you the way He'll take your pain He'll show you the way Esther called me today She's a bona fide star Said I spoke to a friend Who wants to know how you are PSALM 105:4 - JAMES 4:7-8 JOHN 3:16

Checking out channels In for the night I catch sight of a starving innocent Her eyes are swollen shut from neglect I wonder, is it mine? Channeling on I keep coming back My stomach's twisted watching her cry Whose arms will hold her when she dies? I know they won't be mine Can't take much of that Don't wanna see that, man Don't gimme none of that No no no I was all alone A stranger in this place And you turned away What you've done with these You have done to me Now there's hell to pay Righteous anger's boiling my blood But who's to blame for this child's lack? Some ethnic war? Some crack maniac? I wonder, is it me? Hold on Pizza man's at the door I'm scrounging change, but who could forget That poor abandoned innocent You can bet her life it's me Can't take much of that Don't wanna see that, man Don't gimme none of that No no no I was all alone A stranger in this place And you turned away What you've done with these You have done to me Now there's hell to pay Can't take much of that Don't wanna see that, man Don't gimme none of that No no no I was all alone A stranger in this place And you turned away What you've done with these You have done to me Now there's hell to pay What you've done with these You have done to me Do you even care? What you've done with these You have done to me Will you leave it there? JAMES 1:27 - MATTHEW 25:31-46 - MATTHEW 19:21
