Lyrics

Arm’s Length

I'm keeping you at arm's length
And all the puppies gonna lick my face
And all the babies, place them on my hips
Nevermind your lips on mine

Come on, Jesus, don't you die for me
You take yourself so seriously
I want all my sins, I'm so greedy
Second house, heated pool, third wife

I want to be a saint some day
I wanna fly around that heavenly way
I've got a friend who works the gate
Owes me a favor, he's a bouncer in Heaven

Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey

Come on, Greta, you made your case
And now we're keeping you at arm's length
You know we only want to save face
And take a selfie, go to lunch, eight-ounce stake

Come on, Jesus, don't you die for me
You take yourself so seriously
You're a shepherd so count sheep
Maybe love ain't enough for some of us

Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey
Hey-hey-hey

I'm keeping you at arm's length
But I'm not keeping you any old way
You know life is like a video game
Level up, big score, game over
