tie noodle




Welcome to the church of St God

please sit where you may
We are a humble flock but
In a sea of rice,
each grain is the same
Be it white rice,
or brown rice
Or fried rice
With scrambled eggs
Rice is rice to jesus

To jesus, it’s all the same


The lord led us up this alleyway
Gave us the Laundromat
to keep us’selves warm
And a couple of fine Rest-ronts
A’wit some convenient kitchen doors

(Used to be more…
Used to be four - shut down since
ain’t here no more)

Then the Lord said
to tie noodles
day old dinner rolls
Salmon
On the mound
and life was good
That’s what he told us
Got no incentive to tell us a lie
Once he started ramblin’
you believe you can fly
from here
That’s the reason
He said he called us

 

No tricky explanation
The very explicit direction
That’s what the Lord told us
Right before he died
Was Dude, Ron, an’ Me
He just say
Go find out why

The city pick up his body
took The Lord away
Maybe we should said something
But at the time…
ain’t nothing easy to say

but a shame just the same

We wait since
That blessed day
In this dark place
Spreadin his word
and sharin’ his joy.
Cheerin our souls
You can hear his children say
Pitter patter
Down the alley
All you gotta do is listen
Chill the hush
as The LORD
he comin' down
this way

we are blessed
as he pass by
body steaming
in the cold morning light
but then that one day
he just crumbled
died, and...
just went away.

there's not a night not go by, someone don’t scream his name, echo down these walls. Like the cries for mercy rising from Hell as souls are being sucked under. 


Which they are and which it is.
