Thank You Jack White (for The Fiber-optic Jesus That You Gave Me) Lyrics

Flaming Lips Thank You Jack White (for The Fiber-optic Jesus That You Gave Me)

Let me tell ya a story about a very special gift
I received from a, from a man that I didn't know very well
But he brightened up the night and made it one of the
Great shining moments of our long tour, goes like this

Backstage in Detroit and the room is full of smoke
And apprehension, we'd been playing shows
As the warm-up and the band for Beck Hanson
In walks Jack says, "How'd ya do?", oh yeah
Then he handed me this wonderful statue

And I said, "Thank you Jack White for the fiber-optic Jesus
That you gave me", it shined so bright that I couldn't
Help believin' it would save me, when I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow and I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"

Here comes the pick, oh yeah

Jack and Meg are funny, they got a modern backwards-liberal
Family code, brother and sister playing rock 'n roll
And doing it on the road, I bet that van begin to stink
But then I wonder, oh, what Christ would think

And I said, "Thank you Jack White for the fiber-optic Jesus
That you gave me", it shined so bright that I couldn't
Help believin' it would save me, when I finally got it home
My whole neighborhood was aglow and I said, "Thank you Jack White
For the fiber-optic Jesus that you gave me"

Nice one
