lyrics

I saw a baby on the bus
and he asked me if I was the one true god
I said "no", then he asked me to go
back to my seat with a wink and a nod
it caught me off guard, I was alarmed,
then he asked me if I knew what to do with the news
bus driver told me not to worry,
cause if it starts to flurry we'll be singing the blues

everybody took what they could
knowing that it's not what they should
paragraphs on broken laughs they would
can't remember mildew stains or if I paid the rent today

baby said he'd teach me all the kinds of learnings
as long as I pay my dues
$300, a tiny cup of water, and a pair of blue suede shoes
I said "Baby, what you take me for, a genie? Would you care to accompany me? We'll have a look inside my crystal ball."
