The Son of Jesus
[Verse 1]
Jesus had a son by Mary Magdalene
And he rode the land like the man who went before
Young Jesus raised him loud
Mother Mary raised him proud
And he tracked the man who laid his father down
One day the Pilate died with the fire in his side
Herod did die too
Not the way he wanted to
Y'see the child knew the secrets of Egypt and Isis

[Verse 2]
Magdalene remembered when
The people smiled and had been looser
Looser than they'd been since the day young Jesus died
Public execution enhanced by levitation
Fancy mutilation for two thousand years of time

[Chorus]
Jesus could walk on the water
The man could dance on the Sea of Galilee
But don't try breathing the water
Miracles go only so far you see

[Verse 3]
So you think young Jesus Christ never smiled a lady
And you think young Mary never saw him smile wide and free
You won't read it in the Bible but if you look you're liable
To come across the truth about the man from Galilee
She raised the man upon the water
They had a son they had a daughter
She hid them from the slaughter in the deep black sea
[Chorus]
God loved the son of Jesus
Ol' God got off on the sparklin' daughter too, yes he did
And Jesus could walk on the water
The man could dance on the Sea of Galilee

[Outro]
Watch him dance
Watch him dance
Watch him dance
Watch him dance
Watch him dance, dance, dance
Watch him dance, dance, dance
Watch him dance, watch him dance, dance
Watch him dance, dance, dance
