last verse by Martin Tielli |
|
Jesus was once a teenager too. |
|
He knelt on the lawn, and he wept woebegone, |
|
While all his ex-friends raced like demons into |
|
The face of the Albion Mall. |
|
Jesus was once a teenager too. |
|
He leapt across the rooftops, and he wondered aloud |
|
Why all of the neighborhood night police stood |
|
Around the face of the Albion Mall. |
|
All I'm feeling is sorrow inside, |
|
Superman feelings I can't help but hide. |
|
I feel I've been caught in an animal's trap. |
|
Crucify them, not I. |
|
His teachers all claimed he'd been smitten with shame |
|
From his father's cheap daredevil Circus of Fear. |
|
And you'll need but a miracle these days to steer |
|
From the face of the Albion Mall. |
|
Now, Jesus was once a teenager too. |
|
Though he could walk on the water, he could not face the laughter. |
|
'Cause the tools of his trade were the size of his feet... |
|
(That's a story of a guy called Jesus: the missing years.) |
