The World According To Lionel

The Resurrection Of N.V.

I was getting stashed out sideways
I was high on defeat
I was giving up on my way
I was even down kissing your feet
But then I died and went to heaven
Where the sun always shines
Now I'm getting used to the climate
And I tell ya I'm doing fine

There ain't no halos up here
We don't hang around on clouds
It's a whole new dimension
Where everything's allowed
And that stuff about thou shalt not
Well, baby, it's got to go
It's supposed to be thou may
And you can tell them that I told you so

Oh yeah life life life life life
Yeah it was some fun
But my days were staggered with worrying ways
But now as I'm dead
My worrying days all long gone

I used to worry about the food
I used to worry about the air
But now I don't breathe so I don't care
All I need are are these wings to lay back on
The holy ghost made this guitar
And Jesus helped me write this song
Yeah he wrote this part it goes

Well there's whisky in the smokehouse
Gonna be trouble on cloud nine
My angel don't wanna know me
But that don't come as any surprise
Cause I talk with a stutter
Sometimes I don't talk at all
Yeah I walk with a stagger
But when you're dead it don't hurt when you fall

Yeah there's witches in my blood
But don't let them scare you none
I bathe in their brew I steal their brooms just for fun
Any fears I had before staying alive it was based on
So if I swoop down on ya will you run
