Rooster Crow

from Hotel Chicamauga by Kansas Bible Company

/

lyrics

Count the times the rooster crows/For each father, son, and holy shit I think I am my father's ghost/Where the hell did Jesus go?/I don't want to be the one whose blood like wine is spilt and drunk/Death is soft and life is hard/If I cannot find a shooting star I'll wish upon a satellite/Light a pack of cigarettes/Smoke them all just to forget it's you who led yourself into this night

Night is tired but the stars don't blink/Everything's lying in the kitchen sink/And Jesus aint coming back from the brink/And Jesse aint coming back from the stink

So come little doggies won't you feed from my hand/Outside the snow is falling but it doesn't land/And I know a girl who's a Marlboro man/With eyes full of pearls and a mouth full of sand/Bring your broken mammals to the mine by the city/Light a pack of Camels designed by committee/So it's fitting that we're sitting on our unmarked graves/Sing a song of penance and pencil in your names

Everyone's an alien/Everything's a sin only if you have enough creativity/T's made out of cedar wood/Taken from the desert as she screams like animals in heat/Another mother goes into labor as angels sing these Christmas carols/Down the hall, into the chamber, up the action, and out the barrel/I'll give you back your thirty pieces/But that don't mean we get back Jesus

Legs are bound but my arms are wide/I'm coming down where I once was high/And in three days I might not arise/But at least you can say I was crucified
