Saint Julian

I met God in a car, in a dream, in Ankerside
And I was very unkind
I said,"You locked us out of the forest
And gave us a mind
I came upon you when I thought I'd lost you
And I cried, 'My God, I thought I'd lost you!
Lost you! Lost you!'"

He said, "My mind is overflowing
With tales to tell
I've been looking around this world I created
It's going so well!"
I looked, I stared, I said, "I think I've lost you!"
Cried out, "My God, I think I've lost you!
Lost you! Lost you!"

I stared into your face, the waves deep and strong
Your fall from grace -- a god so far gone
Remind me not to pray to you
Then my flailing arms smacked your face
Why should I kill you?
I thought of all the bodies, the religious wars
And all of the millions dying for a nobody cause

Sitting in an 8-foot by 8-foot cell, I cried
"You know this treatment isn't human!"
Up to my waist in the slime and the sweat of days
I hope that I am not forgotten
I came upon you when I thought I'd lost you
And I cried, "My God, I know I've lost you!
Lost you! Lost you!
Know I've lost you
Lost you. Lost you."
