(Sometimes I Wish I Could Go to) Church (with You)

Sometimes I wish I could go to church with you
Take a seat in the last pew
See the grocery store people sing to god
In unison
Amidst the high ceilings and all the stained glass
Floral dresses and stiff slacks
There's a bearded dude wearing a Harley shirt
Bathed in soft light

Sometimes I wish I could forget Marilyn
Einstein, Elvis, and Dylan
The people I know would all have better skin
Better ideas

It feels good to have a brother again

After the service I'd get to meet your friends
Maxwell House and Entenmann's
But no one would ask if I've accepted Christ
In my heart
Maybe instead I should escape to Thailand
No news feed, no on demand
Live in an ashram, meditate all day
Completely pure

It feels good to have a brother again

Sometimes I wish I could go to church with you
I could but I never do
See the grocery store people sing to god
In unison
