It was a corker . . . the first time i read it, it was presented as a real news item . . . i nearly peed myself . . .
thank you jack white (for the fibre optic jesus that you gave me)
the flaming lips
(talking)
let me tell you a story about a very special gift i recieved from a man i didn't really know very well, but he brightened up the night and made it one of the shining lights of our long tour, and it goes like this...
backstage in detroit, and the room is full of smoke and aprehension
we been playing shows as the warm up and the band for beck hanson
in walks jack, say's how you do
then he handed me this wonderful statue
and i said, thank you jack white for the fibre optic jesus that you gave
it shines so bright, that i couldn't help believing it would save me
when i finally got it home, my whole neighbourhood was a glow
and i said thank you jack white for the fiber optic jesus that you gave me
jack and meg are funny, they got a modern backwards liberal family code
brother and sister, playin' rock and roll and doin' it on the road
i bet that van began to stink
and i wondered oh what christ would think
and i said thank you jack white for the fiber optic jesus that you gave me
it shines so bright, that i couldn't help believing it would save me
when i finally got it home, my whole neighbourhood was a glow
and i said thank you jack white for the fiber optic jesus that you gave me
