==Lyrics==<br />
Jesus told me to leave gravity behind<br><br />
and He said to burn the stars out of my eyes<br><br />
He said dissolve into asphalt and white lines<br><br />
and give them nothing they can turn into a lie<br><br />
Jesus said there was no home I was welcome in to;<br><br />
just sad lonely places where I'll pay and pay<br><br />
Jesus gave me this motel television<br><br />
to burn all my hopes and dreams clean away<br />
<br />
And He said, "drive a thousand miles<br><br />
drive another thousand miles<br><br />
'cause you - you have no other home"<br />
<br />
Jesus gave me a spoonful of sugar<br><br />
yeah, and a million saints who pray and pray<br><br />
for a silence that rings like a hammer<br><br />
all for the likes of you and me to go away<br />
<br />
And He said, "drive a thousand miles<br><br />
drive another thousand miles<br><br />
'cause you - you have no other home.<br><br />
You - you have no other home."<br />
<br />
Now Jesus told me to leave gravity behind<br><br />
and He said to burn the stars out of my eyes<br><br />
and He said give 'em nothing they can turn into a lie<br><br />
and give 'em nothing they can turn into a lie<br><br />
give 'em nothing.<br />
