Jesusland Lyrics - Songs For Silverman - Ben Folds

Take a walk 

Out the gate you go and never stop 

Past all the 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 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
