lyrics

I saw Jesus on the subway train / he was sitting there all alone
Had his head buried deep in a brand new Iphone
Wearing the flowing robes with the Bob Weir birkenstocks
Over a pair of vintage Archie Bunker sweat socks
Then he got off at Prospect Park
And copped some pills there in the dark

He needed Dirty Frank's Gotta pray
Dirty Frank's Right away
Raise your glass gotta give thanks
At Dirty Frank's

Opportunity passing me by just like a yellow cab
Another rent increase to go with my covid jab
My girl she finally hopped that leaving train
In the middle of yet another driving rain
If home is where the heart should be
I’d rather live on the open sea

Or at Dirty Frank's So she’s gone
Dirty Frank's I’ll get along
Raise your glass gotta give thanks
At Dirty Frank's

Getting around always a chore
Just trying to reach my own front door

If you can run then you can hide
Like a carny on a carnival ride
Pitch the tent then take it down
Drive it to another town
Where Jesus saves once he gets clean
But never tells you where he’s been
Never looked me in the eye
took this long to find out why

Now he’s at Dirty Frank's Looking for love
Tired of searching all the stars above
Raise your glass gotta give thanks
At Dirty Frank's
