John Saw That Number |
| 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… |
