Lyrics

FELT BOARD JESUS

In this basement
I will make you fishers of men
In this basement
1st John 1:9 again and again
In this basement
Singing out, “now that’s the book for me”
In this basement
Only good news from the library

In this basement
Stack unused curriculum
In this basement
We learn to cover the skin
In this basement
Sittin on stained second-hand furniture
In this basement
Twelve steps or more to the rebirth

One floor below
Questions we’re told to ask
One floor below
How long is this gonna last?

And a felt board Jesus still down here
Dangling speech bubble says, “all who are weary…”

In this basement
Upright kids, upright pianos
In this basement
Swear to God in monotone

Down here
Lost tapes still haven’t been found
Down Here
Burn burn, record-burning vows

One floor below
Questions no one can ask
One floor below
How long is this gonna last?

And a felt board Jesus still down here
Over in the corner saying, “all who are weary…you who are weary”
