Lyrics

The Ballad of Boogie Christ (2013)

• I need the saint of laughter, I need the saint of tears, I need the saint detective who can find my stolen years
  • The Saint of Impossible Causes

• I need the saint of needing, I need the saint of loss -- the one who gave up wanting his heart to trash to toss
  • The Saint of Impossible Causes"

• The saint of killers too afraid to kill
  • The Saint of Impossible Causes

• I need the saint of healing, I need the saint of health — I shot the saint of money, beat up the saint of wealth
  • The Saint of Impossible Causes

• Christ would wear cowboy boots, Christ would have sex, Christ would eat pizza and cut blackjack decks
  • The Ballad of Boogie Christ

• Christ would be rocking, Christ would be free, he'd say there's no difference between you and me.
  • The Ballad of Boogie Christ

• Christ would be careful, Christ would be brave, but Christ he would never be anyone's slave.
  • The Ballad of Boogie Christ
