A fantastic example of Steven Page wordplay combined with religious allegory. The song is peppered with, primarily, references to The Beatles and songs from their solo careers. The chorus of George Harrison’s “My Sweet Lord” is echoed in the chorus here, which also throws in references to various Be...
[Verse 1]
Jesus came to me last night
To tell me everything'll be all right
He said, "Thank you for rolling the stone
But you're gonna have to go it alone"
[Verse 2]
His halo light up the room
But just sputtered from white to blue
He said, "Can't keep the damn thing aglow
Even if it's only for show."
[Chorus 1]
(Hallelujah) From "Hello Goodbye"
(Heal thyself) To "Helen Wheels"
(Hare Krishna) Sing "Hosanna"
(Oh my Lord) So that's the deal
[Verse 3]
I feel like I've been here before
You know what happens when God closes a door
You think mortality's hell
He's boarded up the windows as well
[Verse 4]
I'm done with raising the dead
I'd rather tour with them instead
I waited too long for my wish
Jesus Christ, I'd settle for fish
[Chorus 2]
(Hallelujah) Mother Mary
(Hal thyself) You had me
(Hare Krishna) And no religion
(Oh my Lord) So let it be
[Bridge]
Turn your blood back into wine
And then forget you were once divine
And if you can't, you know it's a lie
Goodbye my Lord, goodbye
My Lord, mmm, my Lord
[Verse 5]
I really wanna trade this perfect life in the sky
To make a mess of things and not know why
Camels, needles, haystacks, and stuff
Come on, don't you think we've all heard enough
[Verse 6]
We've needed someone like you
Self-satisfied but also easily bruised
Hey, have you heard the good news?
We're gonna make you king of the Jews
[Chorus 3]
(Hallelujah) The dream is over
(Heal thyself) So I me mine
(Hare Krishna) Won't be the same now
(Oh my Lord) End of the line
[Chorus 4]
(Hallelujah) I'm sick of holding your hand
(Heal thyself) See that single set of prints in the sand
(Hare Krishna) I just assumed that you'd know
(Oh my Lord) You've always had to go it alone
[Outro]
We're on our way home
Goin' home
(Steven came to me last night)
