lyrics

Michigan Lake

She drove the Caddy into the drink
Little babies didn't know how to swim
As Detroit steel started to sink
She led the children in a sacred hymn
It was something about Jesus
Mother Mary and Father God
And all The Saints and how they reach us
With their carburetors firing the pistons and rods

All the officials
Captains and kings
Policemen and the scuba teams
Jumped in the lake
With a swimmable dog
Searching for the scent
Of the Son of God

I never bought it how they bought it
How the water came over their heads
I read the caper in the newspaper
Clipped a coupon for a loaf of bread
Moses came to part the waterways
And separate...and separate...
Moses came to part the waterways
And separate the Chevy's from the Chevrolets

All the officials
Captains and kings
Policemen and the scuba teams
Jumped in the lake
With a swimmable dog
Searching for the scent
Of the Son of God

Lake is great God is good
For forty days there was rust on the hood
For forty nights it was cold in the drain
For a savior stuck in a trunk of pain
I went swimming in the morning
Got the water all over my face
I went fishing that same morning
For immaculate spark-plugs of wafers of grace
