lyrics

this is my type of religion


keep me in the sky that’s all that i cry, i’ll become your servant if it’s worth your time
keep me in the sky that’s all that i’ll say, i’ll become your soldier at least for this day
keep me in the sky that’s all that i cry, i’ll become your servant if it’s worth your time
keep me in the sky that’s all that i’ll say

i know i haven’t been walking a humble path, i know i cursed at your name and then laughed
and though i found it inane to bend calf, the servitude of groveling framed as pained task
i gotta figure it cant hurt to ask, suspension of disbelief in uniquely freak flash
admission of the faithfully shaken now trapped, 30 thousand and droppin its on and poppin at last

keep me in the sky that's all that i cry, i’ll become your servant if it’s worth your time
keep me in the sky that’s all that i’ll say, i’ll become your soldier at least for this day


no, there are no atheists in the foxholes, no, there is no intellect in the air
no, there are no scientists on the way down, just a working example of faith verses physics
no, there are no atheists in the foxholes, no, there is no intellect in the air
no, there are no scientists on the way down, just a working example of faith verses physics

flyentology (oh god)
everybody get your ticket today
flyentology (oh god)
welcome aboard sir, right this way
flyentology, flyen flyentology (oh god)
our bible is in your seat back pocket
flyentolgy (oh god)
tuck your head between your legs now… pray

i adore you, the same way that others always adored you
emergency humility, just break glass
i implore, with no knowledge of dogma to conform to, i know i don’t deserve it but… save my ass
and if i'm going down let me do it in first class, the paganistic prayer of a heathen with wild past
please forgive my bastardized style dash and anoint me with salvation in form of non-crash

i wanna live so bad, all my life i’ve been so arrogant
this is the vessel of my ‘wakening, please father put your hand out, carry it
i wanna live so bad, all my life i’ve been so arrogant
this is the vessel of my ‘wakening, god damn it put your hand out, carry it

no, there are no atheists in the foxholes, no, there is no intellect in the air
no, there are no scientists on the way down, just a working example of faith verses physics
No, there are no atheists in the foxholes, no, there is no intellect in the air
no, there are no scientists on the way down, just a working example of faith verses physics

and i will crawl into your arms, and you will show me how to worship (flyentology)
and i will crawl into your arms, and you will show me how to worship (flyentology)
(keep me in the sky) and i will crawl into your arms, and you will show me how to worship (flyentology)
(keep me in the sky) and i will crawl into your arms, and you will show me how to worship (flyentology)

keep me in the sky that's all that i cry, i’ll become your servant if it’s worth your time
keep me in the sky that’s all that i’ll say, i’ll become your soldier at least for this day
