lyrics

I made the case
For a Jesus that's from outer space
Who donned a flesh suit
And who died and resurrected
Around the moon

Through revelation
Euhemerization
They muddled up the truth
And then re-wrote the book about it
And now he looks like the king of it too

For everything that's happened
He's just been the excuse
The gospals are no history
Apocryphal epistles
The Nicean creed
It's all just trying to tell you what not to believe

YouTube shows
Stoned Wikipedia holes
There's much debate
So let me tell you about it and put you straight

Cool scholarly reception
Apologists objections
For Historicity
But there isn't a logical reason
To call this just a fringe theory

Mystery cults
Apocalyptic prophecy
Not a shred of biography
He was having dreams and visions
Of a cool cosmic Christ
Then some people said he lived in real life

You can see for yourself
If you got any doubts about it
If you look stuff up
And read enough
Maybe you'll think about it
But if you're just high
You can lie and say
You did your research
There's no place
But outer space
Jesus, he's way way up there
