[Verse 1]
Angels smoking cigarettes on rooftops in fishnets in the morning with the
Moon still glowing
And here comes Jesus in an Astrovan rolling down the strip again

[Chorus]
Life ain't ever what it seems
These dreams are more than paper things
And it's alright mama you're afraid

I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Jesus drives an Astrovan
Yes, he does (I say: whoo)

And says son you're famous in heaven

But I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Jesus drives an Astrovan
[Outro]
I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Jesus drives an Astrovan
