lyrics

I'm not Jesus
I'm Driftwood Christ
And I'm sitting on this beach
It seems another night

And there's no place I'd rather be
Than on the boat I'm building
floating out to Sea

And Mother Mary
She kicked me out
Said I'm good for nothing
Well look at me now
I know how
To give my life
Some buoyancy
Driftwood and some rope
You know Is all that I need

I never did learn how to sail
But I'm putting all my hope
In the current I've determined
It will take me where I need to go

The waves are falling out of focus to me
No land in sight
It seems my plight has followed me

Well Poseidon
He's been kind to me
He's provided me an island
Where I can roam free
Coconuts and mangos
Now is all that I eat
And I'm drawing up the map
Of this topography

On and on, the wind it blows
Just whose blowing
Well nobody knows
I've been sitting like a tortoise
And aligning my chi
In this paradise I'm building
Nothing to distract me

La da da da da da
La da da
La da da da huh huh huh
La da da da
Da da da
*cough*
