John Saw That Number Lyrics - Fox Confessor Brings The Flood - Neko Case

Old John the baptist, old John divine 

Leather harness round his line 

His meat was locust and honey 

Wild honey lord, wild honey 

John saw that number 

Way in the middle of the air 

Cryin' holy, holy to the Lord 

Old John the baptist, old John divine 

Frogs and snakes are gonna get John this time 

God told the angel "go see about John" 

So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist 

Gathered wind in his fists so the stars round his wrists 

Cryin' holy, holy to the lord 

Read the revelations, you'll find him there 

Third chapter, fourth verse where he said unto me 

"There's a beast that rose out of the sea" 

Ten crowns, ten crowns 

On his horns write "blasphemy" 

John couldn't read it (John couldn't read it) 

Get on repeat it 

John couldn't read it 

Holy, holy to the Lord

There was a man, a pharisee 

Who came by night to meet him 

Said "I know thy teacher came from God cause no man can do such miracles 

Without the lord to entreat him" 

God told the angel "go see about John" 

So he flew from the pit with the moon round his waist 

Gathered wind in his fists and the stars round his wrists 

Cryin' holy, holy to the Lord 

Holy, holy to the Lord 

Holy, holy to the Lord...
