when jesus gets a brand new name

damn them dogs is really smart

think i'd better lose the snowshoes

thought the skid marks on the road'd throw them off

but damn them dogs is smart

and on devil's island of the heart

you can't afford to make a big mistake

you gotta plan your jail break carefully

very carefully!

and them crickets chirping in my hair

they're about to drive me smack insane

i don't know quite who put 'em there

but everytime i hear 'em it sound just like;

when jesus gets a brand new name!

when jesus gets a brand new name!

now i'm hiding in a funky shadow

i see a tv show through the window

there's lawyers riding in a speedboat

they're solving cases on the ocean

i'm going over the waterfalls

i'm a lamb to the slaughter ya'll

better duck because that flying thing

is coming back this way!

i tell you what the hay!

friggin a!

a certified genius couldn't do it better

you disagree?

well

that's okay

we'll notify you with a letter!

when jesus gets a brand new name!

when jesus gets a brand new name!

golden dust

golden bones

golden opportunities

you flush 'em all down the rusty drain

better laugh

boy

before you feel the pain

and get yourself good and saved

make sure that you are well behaved;

you should part your hair

you should shine your shoes

you should say your prayers

you should pay your dues

you do heart surgery with a hammer

then you lock 'em all up in the gospel slammer

'till there's nothing left for this corpse to say

except drag my stinking butt away!"
