I saw Jesus in a restaurant
the waitress said
he could order whatever he wanted to...
Jesus smiled and folded his menu up
folded it again
in the form of a beautiful pup
the waitress blushed
the waitress cried
I saw Buddha at the county fair
silent and so still
the children went spinning around him so
Buddha said "step right up...
into this empty cup"
and then stood laughing on the Ferris Wheel
the wheel was turning
the wheel of everything
someone doubted that the moon was round
until it fell to the ground
it hardly even made a sound
when it came down
when it came down
I saw Vishnu sleeping at the side of the road
dreaming of a car
that would drive him to his waking state
Vishnu knows how to step on the gas
and make it all go
it was his memory, it was his show
I saw Coyote with all her cactus friends
patient in the night
she made a fateful cry, then winked an eye
She saw the sun rising in the lightning sky
and headed for the hills
people say the way she walks gives them chills
she gives them chills
someone doubted that the moon was round
until it fell to the ground
it hardly even made a sound
when it came down
when it came down
I'll meet you at the Eternal Cafe
maybe next Saturday
maybe I will recognize the way you hide
I know this waitress there who's really sweet
so patient and kind
she will bring you anything, given enough time
I asked her once what did she think
about the sun and moon
she just laughed and danced about the room
When you walk into the morning light
with so much to do
save one little bit of it just for me and you
someone doubted that the moon was round
until it fell to the ground
it hardly even made a sound
when it came down
when it came down
