Hallelujah

you’re being a bee, you’re buzzing around
trying to stick your stinger in the lost and found
but i just keep sticking to swatting you down
cause i hate your sting more than i like your honey
 
you’re seeing the sea down to the ocean floor
blowing through it like an open door
i never saw the sea before
i think it’s dull and not that stunning
 
maybe if it was a bigger deal to me
then i could see what everybody sees
maybe if i ever got that feeling
i’d have better things to do than just
lay here staring at the ceiling
 
i’m playing a part, there’s a role i carry
i’m trying to be the virgin mary
but no one wants to sleep with her it’s too scary
she said “come on joseph, the whole world needs us”
and i wonder about joseph’s mindset
did he ever look to his wife with regret and say
“god damn, mary, my needs aren’t met?
my life would be better if it weren’t for jesus”
 
maybe if it was a bigger deal to me
then i could see what everybody sees
maybe if i ever put down my bible
i’d be better prepared for a bedroom revival
 
lay me down, straighten me out, i want to shout hallelujah
