Angels smoking cigarettes on rooftops in fishnets
In the morning with the moon still glowing
And here comes Jesus in an Astrovan
Rolling down the strip again
He's stoned while Jerry plays
He said, "Life ain't ever what it seems
These dreams are more than paper things
It's alright, mama, you're afraid
I'll be poor along the way
But I don't wanna see those tears again
You know, Jesus drives an Astrovan"
And in my heart there's a holy ghost
Writhing on the floor from an overdose
You know the best ones never come down
So if I love at the tip of my toes
Reaching out for the great unknown
Every addict has illusions
Yeah, life ain't ever what it seems
These dreams are more than paper things
And it's alright, mama, you're afraid
I'll be poor along the way
But I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Jesus drives an Astrovan
And when I see those angels on the roof
I know I've made it when my
Doobie smoking Jesus puts my name up on his guest list
Said, "Son, you're famous in Heaven
Maybe you're famous in Heaven
And maybe there is no Heaven
And maybe we're all along together now
And I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Jesus drives an Astrovan"
And I don't wanna see those tears again
You know Jesus drives an Astrovan
