I Saw Jesus Hanging on a Basketball Hoop

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw Jesus hanging on a basketball hoop And I saw roaches in my mother's morning coffee And the roaches called me faggot I saw the grimy hot-handed boys In locker room sweat-licked conversation Groping themselves through tighty-whities And praying for white america And I saw them wish they could kiss me, too I saw leaves fallen like soldiers to the ground On my walk home from work I am twenty-one and I have never been older And the leaves look like lizards Crushed on the pavement beneath my feet And it's me who killed them, I killed them Because I am bigger, I am fatter I am more than them [Verse 2] I see a woman in the afternoon She is crawling through the fibers on my couch on all fours Her movements are exact and she looks perfect She says, "I want to open a bottle of champagne I want to drink it fast" "I want to take off my clothes, now" she says "I want to make it last"
