Take a walk

out the gate you go and never stop

past dollar stores and wig shops

quarter in a cup for every block

and watch the buildings grow

smaller as you go

Down the tracks

beautiful McMansions on a hill

that overlook a highway

with riverboat casinos and you still

have yet to see a soul

Jesusland

Jesusland

Town to town

broadcast to each house, they drop your name

but no one knows your face

Billboards quoting things you'd never say

you hang your head and pray

for Jesusland

Jesusland

Miles and miles

and the sun goin' down

Pulses glow

from their homes

You're not alone

Lights come on

as you lay your weary head on their lawn

Parking lots

cracked and growing grass you see it all

from offices to farms

crosses flying high above the malls

A longer walk

through Jesusland

Jesusland

Ben folds meekest solo album. I don't even know what to say to that, but that is just idiotic.

that's like saying "X" is Beethoven's weakest symphony....Ben Folds Doesn't make bad or even mediocre music.

I can't speak for the entire album but I can say with confidence that "Songs for Silverman" is made worthy by this song, "Time", "Landed", and "Trusted".

This might be on Ben's weakest solo album, but it's one of his best songs.

What a great opening. So soft, yet intense.

On the DVD he says it's about if Jesus was walking around the world today and saw people using his name to sell stuff how would he feel? He's all alone, no one to help him, and the entire world is using him. "Town to town;/broadcast to each house, they drop your name,/but no one knows your face. "

I can't wait until the lake in front of my house freezes over. Once it does, I will once again be able to enjoy this song under the stars and on top of a lake.
