Saint Dude

Saint Dude, you've come a long way from your solitude Like a sage whose sooth with something crude 'Cause you know the truth is ugly, Saint Dude Ascension Day, there's a plan skywriting out your name The people stood and watched it blow away 'Cause nothing's good until it's gone away You are ascending No more pretending Leave these earthly days Your fable's tainted Pipe dreams are faded Your revelations came too late And you're a saint In 2068, they'll keep a vigil burning in your name With the gospel of a parking valet on the way Apostles from a mall won't let you fall from grace Now you're unloading your baggage Floating on the Sea of Galilee You walk on fodder Turn wine to water Lay down your song at Peter's Gate And you're a saint
