Chariot of Fire

[Verse 1]
The old campus and the women's school
Mechanical advantage making physics cool
A textile town and the mills so cruel
Like the upstate hemorrhaging her fossil fuel
Out of the foothills and wandering pools
On the eddies of the Reedy like Pee Dee drool
Amber and ruby gemstone jewel
Autumn in Greenville make a winsome fool
The heart is the tool of the young man stooled
In a lab coat hoping for the universe to breakthrough
Don't ever let it break you
In need of some fight let the light speed take you

[Hook]
I saw God on a park bench first
I'm going home in a chariot of fire

[Verse 2]
I saw God on a park bench first
My heart opened up like the parchment burst
Envelope folding I scribbled my first
Epistle to the universe with marksman's worth
Your time on earth blessed or curse
Chariot of fire or limousine hearse
Laser like focus or absolute worst
Profound discovery or a simpletons purse
Chuck Townes in a paladin gown
Rally men around the creator and the compound
My Greenville town
God Bless our prophet to the cosmos now
