Saw Buddah walking down the street
I said: "Hey man, I never thought we'd meet"
Looked at me and he did a dance
He said: "Hey son, you gotta take your chance"
Saw Jesus in sixty-five
Said: "Hey son, you're still alive?"
He was standing in a riot zone
Said: "Hey man, why don't you go home?"
He said: "I never was, never will be
What you gotta do is carry on and forget about me"
Saw Moses in a Cadillac
Said: "Hey man, why did you come back?"
He looked at me and he did a dance
Said: "Hey man, you gotta take your chance"
Saw the saviour standing on the stage
He looked at me, I was in a rage
Looked my way and he said to me:
"You gotta carry on and forget about me
'Cause I never was, never will be
What you gotta do is carry on and forget about me"
