Well, Jesus emerged from the desert one day, head like a smoking gun Brain aboil with faith till God said, "Sorry, you ain't my son" Well, Jesus' head was full of rage, he went right down to the river there And he brought upon us pestilence as he rubbed mud in his hair Well, Jesus shuffled And Jesus jittered And he shook like a pole And he jittered some more He went to the Aborigines And he dreamt in twenty-five colours He'd have gone to the Roman Catholic Church Were it not for his equal number of lovers He took up with a smith And he took up with a jailer But with every new profession his complexion grew paler Well, Jesus came slowly down to earth and he realised who he was And he realised like everyone else he was a man of women, alcohol and cars And Jesus shuffled And Jesus jittered And he shook like a pole And he jittered some more By 1997, he'd reached his final year of college But the sort of questions he wanted answered couldn't be answered by knowledge So one dark morn in the grocery store while he was nursing some real blues This seductress in a fine black dress boomed to him like the head of hot-pressed news Well, love blew out his eyes Like a river it was his lust ran And she leered at him with greed equally grim And he got down and offered his hand The wedding was a brief affair, in their affair were they briefly wed When one white eve she threw back her black hair, took out a knife and said "Jesus Christ, you don't set me alight, you've crossed me three times and it just ain't right I mean I've heard about you and your seeing death through But I'm gonna have your life tonight" Well, Jesus' wife she had words to say And she said them with a twelve-inch knife And suddenly he sat right beside the Lord Chewing on the bones of his life And the Lord shuffled And the Lord jittered And he shook like a pole And he jittered some more And the Lord looked round And he threw some love shapes And the Lord looked down And he did the hate shake
