People On Main Street

Jesus came downtown one night

For five dollar karaoke, two beers, and a fight

Main street bustles and he thinks he hears his name

Nevermind it's just a looney on a soap box in the rain

Maggie works the corner store, five hours in the day

Pours her beauty into Camels and her brain's just burn away

The pimp that runs on 2nd stops buy to make her change her mind

Maggie hangs up her apron, goes off with him into the night

Jesus came downtown two days later after five

Grabbed some drinks and a couple broads just to feel alive

Preacher on the corner calls him out to see his mistakes

Jesus walked away with a cig cause he's got less time to waste

Trash can man hides under the jacket he calls his

Jesus shakes his head but he knows sometimes you can't escape that shit

Jesus lost his job but I mean that's what happens, there's no God

So he'll dispense advice on graffiti'd walls and smoke,

Or maybe, not
