Titus 2:11

Lou Reed making love to Sweet Jane

While George’s Telecaster weeping gently

For a sad and sleeping Mother Mary

Trying to save the world through God’s son.

God gathers together her heavenly court

“Where have you been?” the question’s asked

“Walking to and fro across the face of the Earth.”

Lou’s sad grin defies his inner desires.

Rickenbacher McGuinn was Eight Miles High

Sitting in court next to the God who turns things

Standing peacefully in Boston Square

Mary Lou Lord kills rock stars with her eyes.

Order in heaven and Earth, God drops her gavel

The music begins with a quiet glint in her eye

Clouds roll, sun shines, Townsend smashes

Salvation handed down from courts on high.
