thank you jack white for the fiber optic jesus that you gave me

The Flaming Lips

Let me tell a story
about a very special gift I received
from a man that I didn t know very well
but he brightened up the night
and made it one of the greatest shining moments of our long tour...
Goes like this:

Backstage in Detroit
and the room was full of smoke and aprehensionWe ve been playing in shows
As the warm-up and the band for Beck Hanson

In walks Jack, says - How d ya do?
Then he handed me this wonderful statue.

And I said, Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me.
It shined so bright
That I couldn t help believin it would save me.

When I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me.

(Here comes the pick)

Jack and Meg are funny
They got a modern backwards-liberal family code
Brother and sister
Playing rock n roll and doing it on the road
I bet that van begin to stink
But then I wonder - oh - what Christ would think.

I said, Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me.
It shined so bright
That I couldn t help believin it would save me.
And when I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow
And I said, Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me.
