The messiah has come and gone<br />
Left half a dozen flags to stake his claim<br />
Maybe i should jump up <br />
Start singing the national anthem<br />
Lie belly up in the sun<br />
Blistering out like a bottle of beer<br />
I've got to slow dive <br />
Into the country to calm my nerves<br />
I'm only dancing on the rooftops<br />
Thinking about what i've got to do<br />
Maybe i'll get drunk<br />
And change the world some other day<br />
This is a great great divide<br />
This is a great great divide<br />
This is a great great divide<br />
And there was nothing in between<br />
The musicians have left the building<br />
Oh god i'll never meet them now<br />
Wanted them to sign my chest<br />
And wish me a happy christmas<br />
Oh well there's always next time<br />
Tonight i'm gonna cut off my hand<br />
Watch the blood it curls down<br />
Put a smile on the face of my friend<br />
I'm only dancing on the rooftops<br />
Thinking about what i've got to do<br />
Maybe i'll get drunk<br />
And change the world some other day<br />
This is a great great divide<br />
This is a great great divide<br />
This is a great great divide<br />
And there was nothing in between<br />
And there was nothing in between
