Black Lips - I Saw God Lyrics






Man I was sitting around thinking and the smell of mary-j-wuanna leaves was burning a stench
into the ashtray, which happened to be hood of my car—an old beat-up station wagon with the
high beams burnt out. Now, as I said I, was thinking... grandma was always trying to hook me
up into going to the big house. She said I'd learn somethin'—somethin' right. She said you
learn some self respect, boy, you learn you some discipline. You think just cause you went to
school and learned you some readin' and some writing too that you're gonna be all right? But I
never really got with it. I don't think I ever really understood until one day my buddy James
came down and he said I got somethin' for ya ands it's something good and you can turn on to
the father. And I said if its all right for my old man then it's all right for me. Why, shit,
if Christopher Columbus might have never really set out to really see somethin', if he had
never put some balls into it, then shit I might of started to think the world was flat if it
hadn't been for him, if you now what I'm sayin'. And they gonna come around like this
motherfucker can fly and shit but we really look like two monkeys fucking a goddamn beach ball
or somethin'. 'Cause all I saw was the cross and it was the cross before it came down
and I said oh my God...

That's when I saw oh
That's when I it all what
That's when I saw what
That's when I saw tell
That's when I it all hell
That's when I saw God
That's when I saw what
That's when I saw

Black Lips I Saw God Comments
  1. H.... G....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM5DhL6kkW0 like becoming a pope

  2. D.... J....

    If you get it you get it

  3. P.... S....

    Very unusual song for the black lips. makes one wonder at their hidden depths.

  4. D.... M....

    my life is burning a stench into the ashtray

  5. V.... F....

    the beeps and censorship are necessary, he's describing a religious experience, but he's still a low-life. i feel as though the song takes place on a tel-evangical show on one of those weird religious channels. he's testifying but still swearing, and they have to censor it or it won't air. this may not be a song for rocking out at a party, but it's still one of the most amazing works of art ever produced.

  6. U.... R....

    Psh go fuck yourself, the beeps and choppiness are what makes it hilarious and unique. One of their best songs hands down

  7. B.... ....

    this is like drunk history only he's describing the first time he took acid.. I think...

  8. R.... ....

    this is probably the worst music I have ever heard in my life

    R.... ....

  11. M.... W....

    (toLaMusiqueetlabeat) if press skip advert now, you can do away with the beeeeeps and sssstrange noises!

  12. L.... ....

    great and strong song. but - call me a philistine - without the beeps and the strange noises, I wuld actually listen to it very very fuckin often. But with that, I can't. instead of relaxing, it becomes exhausting.

  13. L.... ....

    @callitacomeb10106 word.

  14. A.... M....

    @wolvvesfoxx i know i have heart it too but i can't remember D :
