Текст песни I Saw God - The Black Lips

Um, well, you know
It′s an altogether new thing
And do actually can have a religious experience
And, and it can be even more important than reading the Bible six times
Or becoming a pope, or something like that, you know

Man, I was sitting around thinking
And the smell of mary-j-wuanna leaves was burning a stench in the ashtray
Which happened to be hood of my caran
Old beat-up station wagon with the high beams burnt out

Now, as I said, I was thinking
Grandma was always trying to hook me up
Into going to the big house
She said I'd learn somethin′, somethin' right
She said, "You'll learn some self respect, boy
Learn you some discipline
You think just ′cause you went to school and learned you some readin′ and some writing too
That you're gonna be all right?"

But I never really got with it
I don′t think I ever really understood
Until one day my buddy James came down
And he said, "I got somethin' for you
And it′s something good and you can turn on to the father"
And I said if its all right for my old man then it's all right for me

′Cause, sh-, if Christopher Columbus might have never really set out to really see somethin'
He had never put some balls into it
Then I might of started to think the world was flat
If it hadn't been for him, if you now what I′m sayin′

And they gonna come around like this - can fly and sh-
But we really look like two monkeys fu- - beach ball or somethin'
′Cause all I saw was the cross and it was the cross before it came down
And I said, "Oh, my God"

Oh!
That's when I saw, oh
That′s when I it all, what?
That's when I saw, what?
That′s when I saw, tell
That's when I it all, hell
That's when I saw God
That′s when I saw, what?
That′s when I saw
