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
