The Messiah on a Budget

This is a song about Love and Passion
after an Ecclesiastical fashion

He was driving down the highway
aiming for the Coast
considering the Judgement Day
when this old world will
turn into
cinnamon toast

On his way out of town
he knows that he has tipped his hand
wearing the garb of yesteryear
his gear roped tightly with a paisley band

Teetering on the brink of making sense to some
who have suffered too long to understand

Talking to drivers in truck stop cafés where
soup de jour with packets of salty crackers
and breakfast with 3 eggs
and hash brown potatoes
is served all day

Yes, He's the Messiah on a Budget,
and this time he's trying not to fudge it
Yes, He's the Messiah on a Budget
and he's coming home to you
So, hold on, look up, watch out

When it comes to sage advice
he can be rather wry
the first question comes between
fresh slices of whipped creamed
pumpkin pie

He offers you a pair of dice and if you
roll 7
you'll have a ticket straight to heaven
Where Double Rainbow ice cream
is served in scoops so smooth, while
Mike Bloomfield frets some soulful blues, and Jerry
soars his notes real high, for sure Garcia has
paid his dues

Yeah, uh huh,
he's heading down the turnpike
when he spies an Angel in gypsy (Meindl) boots and
turns the corner into her rainy fairy tale
where rites of passage
were once granted only
to a few,
until now that is...

'Cause He's the Messiah on a Budget
and this time he's trying not to fudge it
He's the Messiah on a Budget
and he could be coming home to you
So look up,
hold on, watch out

Will he be successful?
only time will tell
anyway he's got a May flower
in his jacket lapel

But,
seems like he never got over the Golden Calf,
yeah, that just wasn't much of a laugh

Eating Tasajara bread he remembers what his
father said,
so keep the faith, don't shed a tear,
he's rolling down the highway and soon,
soon, he will be here

Yes, He's the Messiah on a Budget
and this time he's trying not to fudge it
Yeah he's the Messiah on a Budget
and soon he could be coming home to you...real soon
so look out, hold on, watch up

In the meantime, be good to each other,
it would really help a lot...
