In A Priest Driven Ambulance

The Flaming Lips In A Priest Driven Ambulance Lyrics
1.Shine On Sweet Jesus

(jesus song no. 5)
Waitin' for my ride
Jesus is floatin' outside
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Watchin' the water rise
I'm gettin' lost in the tide
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While i'm still myself,
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while i was still asleep

Watchin' the planets shine
Reflecting yourself in the sky
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Scraping these smiles of mine
Impossible one at a time
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While i'm still myself,
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while i was still asleep

Jesus is at my side,
Wondering what he will find
(shine on, sweet jesus, on me)
Watchin' the water rise
I'm gettin' lost in the tide
(cry all your teardrops on me)
While i'm still myself
Your blankets covered me
Covered me while i was still asleep


2.Unconsciously Screamin'

Seeing the unseeable,
Filling down the void
We're not what we used to be
We're not really boys

Screaming till our lungs are full
Kicking down the teeth
We're not what we used to be
We're just paranoid

Unconsciously screaming
And whispering at everything she brings


3.Rainin' Babies

What i'm thinkin' is so delicate
If i breathe, you know, i'm gonna lose it
It's just a drop in the biggest ocean i know i've ever seen
And in a moment it's big enough to drown the whole world

This is my present to the world
And i want you to take it
This is my present to the world
Take it from me, please please take it from me

All i know is i don't know it
It's rainin' babies from the sky down on me
Tiny drops on my windshield
And in a second it's rainin' rainin' all over the whole world


4.Take Me Ta Mars

Yeah, 'cause when i drive in my car
We put heads in jars
So take me please, take me to mars
I wanna go where they are (2x)
I wanna go

Yeah, and if i'm lost, well i don't care
'cause i walk on endless stairs
You say it's me, i think it's you
Who can blame us for thinkin' the way we do
'cause we don't care what we are (2x)

Take me please, take me to mars (3x)
Take me to mars (5x)


5.Five Stop Mother Superior Rain

I was born the day they shot jfk
The way you look at me sucks me down the sidewalk
Somebody please tell this machine i'm not a machine

My hands are in the air
And that's where they always are
You're fucked if you do, and you're fucked if you don't
Five stop mother superior rain

I was born the day they shot john lennon's brain
And all my smiles are gettin' in the hate generation's way
Tell 'em i'm gonna go out, shoot somebody in the mouth
First thing tomorrow

My hands are in the air
And that's where they always are
You're fucked if you do, and you're fucked if you don't
Five stop mother superior rain

I was born the day they shot a hole in the jesus egg
Now the rain, it's all so random
What does free will have to do with it at all?
And you can't cry, but
It really don't matter, y'end up cryin' anyway.

My hands are in the air
And that's where they always are
You're fucked if you do, and you're fucked if you don't
Five stop mother superior rain


6.Stand In Line

Ten men stand in line
At the gates of the cemetery on tuesday morning
They're not open today
And ten moms stand in line
At maternity ward
They're not bringin' no babies out to play
Anytime today

What's a nice girl like you doin'
Walkin' around this part of town?
See you sometime tomorrow

And ten men stand in line
Waitin' for some personality to be put out on the corner
Today ain't garbage day
Ain't no grabage taken today


7.God Walks Among Us Now

(jesus song no. 6)

How does it feel to be breakin' apart
Breakin' down molecules
How does it feel to out of control
Another ring around this ball

Used to be all right
But things got strange

How does it feel to be fallin' apart
Sinkin' from the bottom down
It's not so easy holdin' it up
With everything fallin' down

Used to be all right
But things got strange
Used to take all night
But things've changed and god walks among us now

Used to be all right
But things got strange
Used to be uptight
But things've changed and god walks among us now

How does it feel to be fallin' apart
With everything breakin' down
How does it feel to be fallin' apart
Imagine how holdin' on


8.There You Are

(jesus song no. 7)

There you are
And you stand in the rain
And the rain fills your brain
And it makes you think that god
Was fucked up when he made this town

There you stand
With your bleedin' hands
And you don't understand
Why you work so goddamn hard
To be anything at all

There you are
And you drive in your car
And you wish for the stars
And you end up face down in the road
Dead as fuck


9.Mountainside

If i'm standin' on your mountainside
And i'm flyin' through your trees
We're all drivin' our own heads now
And i'm blessin' all your screed
And i'm flyin' through your mountainside
Dyin' in your plane crash of love

If i'm drivin' down your highway
And i'm crashin' in your dreams
We're all drivin' our own heads now
All your lights are never green
And i'm drivin' down your highway
Crashin' through your windsheild of love

And if i'm standing on your mountainside
And i'm crashin' through your dreams
We're all drivin' our own heads now
And all your bathroom floors are clean
And i hold your electric toaster while
Standin' in your bathtub of love
And i'm flyin' through your mountainside
Dyin' in your plane crash of love


10.What A Wonderful World

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see 'em bloom for me and you
And i think to myself, what a wonderful world

I see skies of blue, clouds of white
The bright blessed days, and dark sacred nights
And i think to myself, what a wonderful world

The colors of the rainbow
Are so pretty in the sky
It's also on the faces
Of people goin' by
I see friends shakin' hands
Sayin', 'how do you do?'
Fairies sayin', 'i love you.'

I hear babies cry, and i watch 'em grow
They'll learn much more than i'll ever know
And i think to myself, what a wonderful world
I think to myself, what a wonderful world
