Cracked Messiah

He looked really tall 'cause his heels were high

They'd puffed him up like a porcupine

So I lifted him up to mortal heights

When ambition kicked me in the eye



How could he act so thoughtlessly

How could it ever come to be

That his great and genial fragile mind

Appeared to be a cavity



A song, a kiss, a twist of fate

That made messiah out to it

With saint-like stigmata only for show



Don't stand in my way

Listen hear what I say

Love comes in different ways



How could he act so thoughtlessly

How could it ever come to be

That his great and genial fragile mind

Appeared to be a cavity



And then the enemy dropped the bomb

Survivors there were none, she said

And smiled, I jerked, I tried again

And failed



Don't stand in my way

Listen hear what I say

Just stay were you are

You're nothing but a fallen star

A cracked messiah is what you are



But we can sing,

We can dance and do the mime

Oh, lay your hand in mine

And maybe I can make you smile

We can sing

Oh, we can drink champagne all night

Don't be afraid, we can lie in bed all day

And just talk about good times



We can sing, na na na..

Yeah we can sing, na na na..

We can sing, na na na..

We can sing, na na na..
