I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night.
I taste blood every time I think of summer
If that’s true, I’m in for quite a treat.
‘Cos I’m begging for the sun in a mid-Missouri winter,
Waiting desperately to get out of town.
No, you can’t keep a good man down.
You’ve been known to obsess over the future
Do you think you’ll get away from the past?
As you starve yourself just to make it through ‘til midnight
Consider what you might have found.
You think you’ve got a good thing now.
I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night.
Every saint has a past, every sinner has a future
So you know it keeps me hanging around.
No, you can’t keep a good man down.
From here on you can count on all things going
The way they must have from the start.
All you feel is the current flowing through you
And seizing your infected heart.
I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night.
I found God in a catalytic converter
In Topeka on a Monday night..
Every saint has ha past, every sinner has a future,
Saint has ha past, every sinner has a future,
Saint has ha past, every sinner has a future,
Saint has ha past, every sinner has a future,
Sinner has a future...
