After Pt.

Part Two
[Verse 1]
I love you, Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, I love you, yes I do

Through the wave and undertow
I will float until I learn how to swim
Inside my mother in a garbage bin
Until I find myself again

The weight it sits on down and I don't know
I will shout until they know what I mean
I mean the marriage of a dead dog sing
And a synthetic flying machine
Machine, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
(Okay)
