Levon

[Verse 1]

Levon bears his war wound like a crown

He calls his child Jesus

'Cause he likes the name

And he sends him to the finest school in town

Levon, Levon likes his money

He makes a lot, they say

Spends his days countin'

In a garage by the motorway

[Pre-Chorus]

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day

When the New York Times said "God is dead

And the War's begun"

Alvin Tostig has a son today

[Chorus]

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

And he shall be Levon

In tradition with the family plan

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

He shall be Levon

[Verse 2]

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town

His family business thrives

Jesus blows up balloons all day

Sits on the porch swing, watchin' them fly

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus

Leave Levon far behind

Take a balloon and go sailin'

While Levon, Levon slowly dies

[Pre-Chorus]

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day

When the New York Times said "God is dead

And the War's begun"

Alvin Tostig has a son today

[Chorus]

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

And he shall be Levon

In tradition with the family plan

Whoo! And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

He shall be Levon

And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

And he shall be Levon

In tradition with the family plan

Whoo! And he shall be Levon

And he shall be a good man

He shall be Levon
