Holy Smokes (2021 Version)

I saw Jesus on the corner

Talking to some kids

Leaning on a light post

Rolling up a spliff

He said, "child, come and try this"

As he pointed right at me

Handed me a joint

Said this might help you believe

Oh, I thought that I knew Mary

The mother of the Babe

But the Saviour learned his lessons

From wise old Mary Jane

All those miracles he did

All those parables he told

Were inspired by the ganja that he regularly rolled

The night I smoked with Jesus, I saw heaven way up close

I saw grandma in her nighty faded with the Holy Ghost

I saw David and Goliath

And man were they both stoned

I saw all of the apostles in a cloud of righteous smoke

I said, "hey, is this what you meant by saved?

To get so high, it's spiritual

You just kinda float away"

I said, "hey, will I see you when I die?"

He said, "If you keep on puffing

Then, it all turns out alright"

I heard Jesus on the corner

Talking to some cops

Only doobie lovin' Jesus gets the law enforcement crossed

If you travel down to Venice

And you're cruisin' right along

I guarantee you'll see him

The Saviour and his bong

And on Sunday he is preachin'

A blunt's good for the soul

THC for all, for there is freedom in the bowl

If you need white-robed Jesus

He's somewhere in LA

Growin' marijuana

And burnin' 'til he's blazed

The night I smoked with Jesus, I saw heaven way up close

I saw grandma in her nighty faded with the Holy Ghost

I saw David and Goliath

And man were they both stoned

I saw all of the apostles in a cloud of righteous smoke

I said, "Hey, is this what you meant by saved?

To get so high, it's spiritual, you just kinda float away"

I said, "Hey, will I see you when I die?"

He said, "If you keep on puffing
