I Dream Of Jesus Lyrics - Dead Milkmen

It was during my 2nd senior year when Mom found Jesus Christ. His 

spirit was trapped inside an old Nana Shepard's bottle that Mom picked 

out of the dumpster behind the 7-11. Mom brought the bottle inside and 

sat it down on top of the TV. Then she told all of us kids to gather 

round, and then she explained how Jesus lived in the bottle, and how, 

if she wanted to, she could call him out to do her bidding. Sis said it 

reminded her of an old TV show, and Mom slapped her and called her a 

heretic. I didn't say anything, cause I just still remember the time 

outside the Safeway, when it took 4 security guards to hold Mom down. 

Jesus loves me, yes I know 

For the Bible tells me so 

When I'm weak he makes me strong 

That's why I sing this song 

If I die before I wake 

Pray to him my soul don't take 

Jesus loves me, yes I know

It wasn't long before people from all over the world started coming to 

our house to see the bottle. At first I thought that this would make me 

more popular at school. Instead it seemed to have the opposite result. 

Kids would stop and point at me in the hallway and say, "There's the boy 

whose mother keeps our savior cooped up in that tiny little bottle." And 

then everybody started calling me 'Bottle boy'. And that really hurt. It 

was also around this time that Mom began to attract some really weird 

followers. Like that guy who never used deodorant and spoke only in 

riddles. And that woman who collected 19th century hand made Amish 

swimwear.

Mommy she loved Jesus, but not like others did 

For she had a special bottle in which our savior lived 

Mommy she loved Jesus, but not like others did 

For she could unleash His vengeance by unfastening the lid 

As the year went on, things went from bad to worse, and I realized that 

if there wasn't a big change pretty soon, I'd never be able to get a 

date for the prom. I couldn't go the year before because Mom belonged 

to a church that considered dancing a one way ticket to Hell. But 

that's a whole nother story. Anyway, by this point Mom had appeared on 

the Richard Bey Show, A.M. Philadelphia and Geraldo, so there was 

no use in me changing schools, since everybody knew who my Mom was. 

Also we had to spend all the money from Mom's personal appearances to 

hire a bodyguard, since by this point we were getting about 400 death 

threats a day. 

Jesus loves me, yes I know 

For the Bible tells me so 

When I'm weak he makes me strong 

That's why I sing this song 

If I die before I wake 

Pray to him my soul don't take 

Jesus loves me, yes I know 

Then one night, I just couldn't stand it any more. While everyone else 

was sleeping I crept downstairs. Slowly I went up to the bottle and 

began to unfasten the lid. At first, nothing happened. But then the room 

filled with a thick white smoke. I was glad my sister had taken the 

batteries out of the smoke detector to put into her Walkman. When the 

smoke cleared, I found myself face to face with the son of God, who was 

much shorter than I had expected. He told me that since I'd freed Him, 

He'd grant me one wish. And that's how I got to go to the prom with 

Geena Davis. But you probably already read about that in People.
