Saint Dude
You've come a long way from your solitude
Like a sage whose sooth was something crude
Cos you know the truth is ugly Saint Dude
Ascension Day
There's a plane skywriting out your name
The people stood and watched it blow away
Cos nothing's good until it's gone away
You are ascending
No more pretending
Leave these earthly days
Your fable's tainted
Pipe dreams are faded
Your revelations came too late
And you're a saint
Yeah you're a saint
In two-thousand sixty-eight
They'll keep a vigil burning in your name
With the gospel of a parking valet on the way
Apostles from the mall won't let you fall from grace
Now you're unloading
Your baggage floating on the Sea of Galilee
You walk on fodder
Turn wine to water
Lay down your song at Peter's gate
And you're a saint
Saint Dude
Yeah you're a saint dude
You've come a long way from your solitude
Like a sage whose sooth was something crude
Cos you know the truth is ugly Saint Dude
Yes you're a saint
Cos you know the truth is ugly Saint Dude
And you're a saint
Cos you know the truth is ugly Saint Dude
Yeah you're a saint dude
Cos you know the truth is ugly Saint Dude
