Thank You Jack White (For the Fiber-Optic Jesus That You Gave Me) - The Flaming Lips

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 Hansen

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.

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.

And 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)
