Turn the TV on
Let's watch a good show
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
See how the gospel goes

In a getaway car
There's lots of bad guys
Jesus Christ Superstar
He's got the power to baptize

When God closes a door
God leads you up the stairs
Leave your earthly cares
On the second floor

When God cracks a couple skulls
God cracks a couple more
His plate is full
On the second floor

The Virgin Mother and the Babylon whore
Pick 'em off one by one
Soap opera Holy War
All the sinners invoke
An act of treason
The mystery is unsolved
Until the second season
When God closes a door
God leads you up the stairs
Leave your earthly cares
On the second floor

When God cracks a couple skulls
God cracks a couple more
His plate is full
On the second floor

People out of Mecca
Can't seem to take a joke
They're shootin' up Paris
They're blowin' that smoke
I'm gonna sing Satanic verses
In a stubborn land
I'm gonna blasphemy and blasphemy
Just because I can

Oh, my God
Oh, my God
Oh, my God
On the second floor

When God closes a door
God leads you up the stairs
Leave your earthly cares
On the second floor
