Electric Jesus

David Marcouillier

Lyrics:

I was walking down the street
Looking for a place to eat
When I saw a legless man praying for lost souls.

He had Electric Jesus on a tape recorder
And every time he played it the tape got shorter
Until all that was left was the leader at the end of the roll.

He asked me where I was headed for
But I ducked into the nearest door
And tried to put back everything I stole.

I bought Electric Jesus and a tape recorder
But every time I play it the tape gets shorter
Now all that’s left is the leader on the end of the roll.

The leader on the end of the roll…
