Well all s not well
but i m told that it ll all be quite nice
you ll be drowned in boots like Mafia
but your feet will still float like Christ s
and i ll be damned
they were right
i m drowning upside down
my feet afloat like Christ s
i m in heaven
trying to figure out which stack
they re going to stuff us atheists into
when Peter and his monkey laugh
and i laugh with them
i m not sure what at
they point and say
we ll keep you in the back
polishing halosbaking manna and gas
well some guy comes in looking a bit like everyone i ever seen
he moves just like crisco disco
breath 100% listerine
he says looking at something else
but directing everything to me
ever time anyone gets on their knees to pray
well it makes my telephone ring
and i ll be damned
he said you were right
no one s running this whole thing
he had a theory too
he said that god takes care of himself
and you of you
it s all nice on ice alright
and it s not day
and it s not night
but it s all nice on ice alright
