I've been around so long
I have walked so many miles
Through deserts and through fountains
Still salvation doesn’t come
The Bee Gees keep on dying
The Beach Boys bitch and fight
And Marvel kills my heroes
Just to sell a few more dimes
I want to sell my soul to Jesus
To be saved in the Lord
But I just don’t know if people keep on doing that anymore
I tried Objectivism
(Try to rhyme that in a song)
Been mystical from Tao
To the teachings from Eno
When everything else failed me
I tried ol' fashioned love
For a while it really saved me
Just as it was advertised
Even tried to get married
Then the green reaper called
Now the record keeps on going
But the high points are long gone
I want to sell my soul to Jesus
To be saved in the Lord
But I just don’t know if people keep on doing that anymore
