Cross-references to defend Reverend's answers in Genesis First you read Velvet Elvis, then some Bart Ehrman No one ever sounded so intelligent Now dress him up in flannelgraph to model metaphysics Roasted at the table of sophisticates He's the dead tongue Latin mass, the church plant that doesn't last He's whatever you want to dismiss I want to get angry, but I cannot We were all true believers All my friends, we used to skate Little WWJDers All our bands broke up and so did childlike faith Shelter in the branches of That Bazan album you love You said it dealt with doubt so honestly Babe, I didn't doubt your sincerity But it planted an image in your brain With just a little poetic turn of phrase About misbehaving and magic trees At seventeen you're deconstructing But we were all true believers All my friends, we used to skate Little WWJDers All our bands broke up and so did childlike faith But something said in Gethsemane It's never left me It's something I haven't found easy to shake When I was caught in adultery I saw him drawing me into A large startling figure 8 But from a far-off distance, they can size up And crush us between two fingers That's just how it feels But I see you flashing like fire For the half-blind and beleaguered You're a large startling figure
