Jesus thinks you are gorgeous

It may sound cheesy, but Jesus thinks you are gorgeous..
(better than him thinking you're a jerk, like Zappa
thinks He thinks about some televangelists)

and you know that distance in your eye?

You won't catch him that way when he thinks about you.

That's one way I read the song anyway..so I've taken the liberty of capitalizing a few pronouns..

IT's "Gorgeous" by The Violet Burning:


I swear it was the Fourth of July
And I could barely raise my eyes
You were the rockets
You were the show
You were the colors,
Oh the light the glow

Color Me in rags of light
Bury Me in a silver shine
I see it all the time
You feel so much
The distance in your eyes
Says so much
You're very far away
You won't catch Me that way
You won't catch Me that way

I don't know where this feeling begins
I shake and slip fall in again I guess
I can tell the way that you look at Me now
You are the rockets and the light somehow

Color me in red or white
Bury me in a rags of light
I see it all the time
You feel so much
The distance in your eyes
Says so much
You're very far away
You won't catch Me that way

Song, it's your song
Song, you're so gorgeous
you're so gorgeous

Song, in July
Like a million Julys
Like a million Julys

YOU SHINE!
