Toledo Lyrics - Singles - Dan Bern

Sitting in the Church Of the Holy McDonald's 

I took off my shoes 

Like the Buddhists told me to 

And I make my sacred offering 

And I dip my hands in Pepsi 

Sailed off to Virginia 

And expelled all the Jews 

And maybe all the things 

You thought you got coming to you 

Ain't coming to you 

Not in this life 

And maybe all the promises 

You thought were broken 

Were never really made 

Promises never made

Refresh Your Christmas Playlist With These 10 Modern Holiday Tracks 

You say the stars quit shining 

Quit shining on your head 

Even the moon stopped coming up 

Some old streetlight instead 

But standing in the fields 

Beneath the universe, you hurt 

'Cause as the Milky Way whirls over you 

All you got is dirt 

And don't worry 'bout the Jews 

They'll do fine in Lithuania 

And bring a picture of the Virgin Larry 

To your cousin in Carolina 

And maybe all the promises 

You thought were broken 

Were never really made 

Promises never made

And I'm closer to God 

Than I've ever been before

Gloria Padre 

Holy candy wrapper 

'Neath the foot of Sierra Madre 

And there's no use even trying 

To sing 'til after midnight 

Let's start the day with music 

And wake up everybody 

That's fool enough to try sleeping 

Before it's getting light out 

It's summer in Toledo 

And I saw three ships a-sailing 

And maybe all the things 

You thought you got coming to you 

Ain't coming to you 

Not in this life 

And maybe all the promises 

You thought were broken 

Were never really made 

Promises never made
