I Dream Of Jesus 歌詞

 

It was during my 2nd senior year

When Mom found Jesus Christ

His

Spirit was trapped inside an old Manischewitz's

Bottle that Mom picked

Out of the dumpster behind the 7 11

Mom brought the bottle inside and

Sat it down on top of the TV

Then she told all of us kids to gather

Round and then she explained

How Jesus lived in the bottle and how

If she wanted to

She could call him out to do her bidding

Sis said it reminded her of an old TV show

And Mom slapped her and called her a

Heretic I didn't say anything

Cause I just still remember the time

Outside the Safeway

When it took 4 security guards to hold Mom down

Jesus loves me yes I know

For the Bible tells me so

When I'm weak he makes me strong

That's why I sing this song

If I die before I wake

Pray to him my soul don't take

Jesus loves me yes I know

It wasn't long before people

From all over the world started coming to

Our house to see the bottle

At first I thought that this would make me

More popular at school

Instead it seemed to have the opposite result

Kids would stop and point at me in the hallway and say There's the boy

Whose mother keeps our savior cooped up in

That tiny little bottle

And then everybody started calling me 'Bottle boy'

And that really hurt

It was also around this time

That Mom began to attract some really weird followers Like that guy who never used deodorant

And spoke only in riddles

And that woman who collected 19th century

Hand made Amish swimwear

Jesus loves me yes I know

For the Bible tells me so

When I'm weak he makes me strong

That's why I sing this song

If I die before I wake

Pray to him my soul don't take

Jesus loves me yes I know

Mommy she loved Jesus but not like others did

For she had a special bottle in which our savior lived

Mommy she loved Jesus but not like others did

For she could unleash His vengeance

By unfastening the lid

As the year went on things went from bad to worse

And I realized that if

There wasn't a big change pretty soon

I'd never be able to get a date for the prom

I couldn't go the year before because Mom belonged

To a church that considered dancing

A one way ticket to Hell

But that's a whole nother story

Anyway by this point Mom had appeared on

The Richard Bey Show A M Philadelphia and Geraldo

So there was no use in me changing schools

Since everybody knew who my Mom was

Also we had to spend all the money

From Mom's personal appearances to hire a bodyguard

Since by this point we were getting

About 400 death threats a day

Jesus loves me yes I know

For the Bible tells me so

When I'm weak he makes me strong

That's why I sing this song

If I die before I wake

Pray to him my soul don't take

Jesus loves me yes I know

Then one night I just couldn't stand it any more

While everyone else was sleeping I crept downstairs

Slowly I went up to the bottle and

Began to unfasten the lid

At first nothing happened

But then the room filled with a thick white smoke

I was glad my sister had taken the batteries

Out of the smoke detector to put into her Walkman

When the smoke cleared

I found myself face to face with the son of God

Who was much shorter than I had expected

He told me that since I'd freed Him

He'd grant me one wish

And that's how I got to go to the prom with Geena Davis

Ut you probably already read about that in People

Jesus loves me yes I know

For the Bible tells me so

When I'm weak he makes me strong

That's why I sing this song

If I die before I wake

Pray to him my soul don't take

Jesus loves me yes I know

Mommy she loved Jesus

But not like others did

For she had a special bottle in which our savior lived

Mommy she loved Jesus

But not like others did

For she could unleash His vengeance by unfastening the lid

Mommy she loved Jesus

But not like others did

For she had a special bottle in which our savior lived

Mommy she loved Jesus

But not like others did

For she could unleash His vengeance by unfastening the lid
