The messiah has come and gone Left half a dozen flags to stake his claim Maybe i should jump up Start singing the national anthem Lie belly up in the sun Blistering out like a bottle of beer I've got to slow dive Into the country to calm my nerves I'm only dancing on the rooftops 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 Wanted them to sign my chest And wish me a happy christmas Oh well there's always next time Tonight i'm gonna cut off my hand Watch the blood it curls down Put a smile on the face of my friend I'm only dancing on the rooftops 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
