Jack In the Boat (in holy vaporwave)

from Skin and Bones (Vaporwave mixes) by Coz the Shroom

lyrics

Jack stood in his boat with his Bible raised up high
On the banks of the river stood a million guys
And over my head was a perfect "mackerel sky" (but it was actually mamatous)
Jack stood in his boat and talked to God
and then he died

Religion comes but one time in your life
It's harder to keep than a wife
It makes you feel so frail
Jack stood in his boat and talked to God
Jack never could sail

Jack was not so bad as far as false prophets go
And a million people still wait for his signs to show
And a mackerel sky is a beautiful way to see a cloud
Jack just talked to God and asked to hear his answer aloud

Religion comes but one time in your life
It's harder to keep than a wife
It makes you feel so frail
Jack stood in his boat and talked to God
Jack never could sail

Jack has the lamb
and the lamb is the life
and the boat is the middle
of eternal living
