Guest Toast Lyrics

Guest Toast

Waited all my life

For this day to come

The holy ghost on jazz piano

Jesus on the drums

Two thousand years ago

Two thousand years away

The holy ghost on jazz piano

A manger and some hay

The whole world strung together by a sacred strand

Of kindness, peace, tranquility and pride

While Allah, God and Buddha form a three piece band

Playing Auld Lang Sien and singing loud

Waited all my life

To hold you with my limbs

The holy ghost on jazz piano

Cupid singing hymns

The whisper of your smile

The wisdom in your tears

The holy ghost on jazz piano

Jesus buying beers

The halls of justice rest to watch the moon arrive

The traffic stops and the angels breath a sigh

While Allah, God and Buddha play a sleazy dive

Just for a moment, nobody has to cry

Drink a toast to the millennium, drink a toast to feeling live and free

Drink a toast to all the mountains climbed and the mountains that are yet to be

Pass the bottle to the one you love, then share your lips with family

Drink a toast to the millennium and see

Somewhere down the road

A naked child is born

In a cold enchanted alley

They're trying to keep him warm

Waited all my life

To hear the words he said

Woke up on an Easter morning

They told me he was dead

The Holy Ghost was taking five and lighting up

The air was filled with smoke rings and desire

The parents passed a warming smile and woke us up

I can almost hear the echo of a choir

Drink a toast to the millennium, drink a toast to feeling live and free

Drink a toast to all the mountains climbed and the mountains that are yet to be

Pass the bottle to the one you love, then share your lips with family

Drink a toast to the millennium and see

That every life is precious

Every thought is sacred

Every dream is naked

And everyone has to be what they have to be
