Living in the meadow
the mighty mighty meadow
With too many people
sucking all the water
Yeah my daddy was a farmer
He was a race car driver
He is a four leaf clover
He is the next messiah

Now he's living in the woods
the dark and dank woods
With a cocktail waitress
who thinks she's an artist
Take her down to the river
split her right up the middle
Now there's gonna be trouble
for a pregnant lamb and a con man

I sit in the clink
dye his hair in the sink
And the tumor gonna make a
man out of him
Now my daddy was a chancer
He was a bad check bouncer
But he beat that cancer
he's a survivor
He's the next messiah. (x4)

Covering it up
squeezing it out
watching it bleed
You're watching it all
taking it back
She's down on her knees
When did she come to detest you?
Giving it back
backing you up
nothing's for free
You're giving it back
for locking you up
those terrible deeds
When will they come to arrest you?
When did she come to detest you?

When will they come to arrest you?
When did she come to detest you?

I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back. (x4)
I want to tell you I love you. (x4)

I want to tell you I love you. (x5)
I'm gonna go out walking baby, better be here when I get back. (x2)

I'm gonna give my love to you on a day you gotta bring it back. (x2)
I want to tell you I love you. (x2)

He's the next messiah. (x4)
