Lyrics

Plastic Jesus

[Intro] One, two, three [Verse 1] I don't care if it rains or freezes Long as I got my Plastic Jesus Sittin' on the dashboard of my car Comes in colors, pink and pleasant Glows in the dark, it's iridescent Take it with ya when you travel far [Verse 2] Get yourself a sweet Madonna Dressed in rhinestone, settin' on a Pedestal of Abalone Shells Goin' 90, I ain't scared 'Cause I got the Virgin Mary Assurin' me that I won't go to hell
