I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus |
|
Gazing out across the open sea |
|
I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus |
|
And they look extremely tired to me |
|
Dyin' of starvation in the gutter (in the gutter) |
|
That is all the future holds for me (holds for me) |
|
Or alcoholic poisoning in the toilet of my choice |
|
That's all there is, as far as I can see |
|
Fried to death in seconds by the Russians (by the Russians) |
|
Or if you're lucky just a sudden stroke (sudden stroke) |
|
A lingering death from fallout as your teeth and hair fall out |
|
A certain death from cancer if you smoke |
|
But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus |
|
Gazing out across the open sea |
|
I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus |
|
And they look extremely tired to me |
|
Put your faith in God, he won't expect you |
|
Put your faith in death because it's free |
|
If you believe in nothing, honey, it believes in you |
|
For God's sake don't waste any faith on me |
|
When he comes to judge us in his glory (in his glory) |
|
Then we'll see how old a man can get (man can get) |
|
He must be feeling ancient up there on the rim of space |
|
Two thousand years and he ain't been back yet |
|
But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus |
|
Rub their eyes and gape at what they see |
|
I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus |
|
And it looks as though they've noticed me |
