Sometimes the Minister Must Stand Aside & Let the Words Speak for Themselves:

bus stop
(david bowie/reeves gabrels)


there's a cry that is heard in the city
from vivian at pentacost lane
a shriekin' and dancing till 4 a.m.
another night of muscles and pain
i love you despite your convictions
that god never laughs at my jokes


i'm a young man at odds with the bible
but I don't pretend faith never works
when we're down on our knees
prayin' at the bus stop


now jesus he came in a vision
and offered you redemption from sin
i'm not sayin' that I don't believe you
but are you sure that it really was him
i've been told that it could've been blue cheese
or the meal that we ate down the road
i'm a young man at odds with the bible
but I don't pretend faith never works
when we're down on our knees
prayin' at the bus stop
hallelujah
