Ben Folds Jesusland Lyrics

Jesusland Lyrics

Take a walk

out the gate you go and never stop

past dollar stores and wig shops

quarter in a cup for every block

and watch the buildings grow

smaller as you go



Down the tracks

beautiful McMansions on a hill

that overlook a highway

with riverboat casinos and you still

have yet to see a soul



Jesusland

Jesusland



Town to town

broadcast to each house, they drop your name

but no one knows your face

Billboards quoting things you'd never say

you hang your head and pray



for Jesusland

Jesusland



Miles and miles

and the sun's goin' down

Pulses glow

from their homes

You're not alone

Lights come on

as you lay your weary head on their lawn



Parking lots

cracked and growing grass you see it all

from offices to farms

crosses flying high above the malls

A longer walk



through Jesusland

Jesusland
