about

The Christians think I'm Pagan, and the Pagans think I'm Christian. This song is actually based on a true experience. Large amounts of LSD were involved, though, so just bear that in mind.

lyrics

THE FIRST TIME

The first time I saw Jesus I was shaken to the core
I’d taken what I needed, and I’d taken plenty more
Don’t know what I was expecting, but it sure was a surprise
When suddenly the man himself was there before my eyes

The first time I saw Jesus I knew not what I should say
But given my condition I couldn’t talk much anyway
Of course that didn’t matter, ‘cause of course he understood
And everything was everything and everything was good

The first time I saw Jesus I was standing in the rain
The cop who came to check me thought I might be insane
He asked me what my name was, like my standing was a sin
I told him I was Jesus, ‘cause I looked a bit like him

The first time I saw Jesus he was flying through the sky
He told me “It’s been nice, but now I have to say goodbye;
Don’t listen to my fanclub, ‘cause you know they got it wrong
Just do the best you can, son, and I’ll see you later on”

about

Beowulf Kingsley Grass Lake Charter Township, Michigan

Todd was here before. Perhaps you recognize him from back then. He looked different then, though. If you think he owes you any money, he was probably some other guy. Those other guys are gone now. We think they may be in Guam, or possibly Kansas.
