Ye Sleeping Knights Of Jesus

I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus Gazing out across the open sea I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus And they look extremely tired to me Dyin' of starvation in the gutter (in the gutter) That is all the future holds for me (holds for me) Or alcoholic poisoning in the toilet of my choice That's all there is, as far as I can see Fried to death in seconds by the Russians (by the Russians) Or if you're lucky just a sudden stroke (sudden stroke) A lingering death from fallout as your teeth and hair fall out A certain death from cancer if you smoke But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus Gazing out across the open sea I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus And they look extremely tired to me Put your faith in God, he won't expect you Put your faith in death because it's free If you believe in nothing, honey, it believes in you For God's sake don't waste any faith on me When he comes to judge us in his glory (in his glory) Then we'll see how old a man can get (man can get) He must be feeling ancient up there on the rim of space Two thousand years and he ain't been back yet But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus Rub their eyes and gape at what they see I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus And it looks as though they've noticed me And it looks as though they've noticed me
