[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 I don't wanna see those tears again You know, Jesus drives an Astrovan Yes, he does (I say: whoo) [Verse 2] 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
[Chorus] 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 here along the way I don't wanna see those tears again You know Jesus drives an Astrovan Yes, he does (I say: whoo) [Bridge] 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 guestlist He said son you're famous in heaven Maybe you're famous in heaven Maybe there is no heaven Maybe we're all along together now But I don't wanna see those tears again You know Jesus drives an Astrovan [Outro] I don't wanna see those tears again You know Jesus drives an Astrovan
