The messiah's come and gone
   he's left half a dozen flags to stake his claim
   maybe i should jump start, singing the national anthem
  
   lie belly up in the sun
   blistering out like a bottle of beer
   i need a slow dive into the country to calm my nerves
  
   i'm only dancing on the roof tops
   thinking about what i've got to do
   maybe i'll get drunk and change the world some other day
  
   this is a great great divide
   this is a great great divide
   this is a great great divide
   and there was nothing in between
  
   the musicians have left the building
   Oh god i'll never meet them now
   i wanted them to sign my chest and wish me a happy christmas
  
   oh well there's next time
   tonight i'm gonna cut off my hand
   let the blood it curls down put a smile on the face of my friend
  
   i'm only dancing on the roof tops
   thinking about what i've got to do
   maybe i'll get drunk and change the world some other day
  
   this is a great great divide
   this is a great great divide
   this is a great great divide
   and there was nothing in between
   and there was nothing in between
