I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus  Gazing out across the open sea  I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus  And they look extremely tired to me  Dyin' of starvation in the gutter (in the gutter)  That is all the future holds for me (holds for me)  Or alcoholic poisoning in the toilet of my choice  That's all there is, as far as I can see  Fried to death in seconds by the Russians (by the Russians)  Or if you're lucky just a sudden stroke (sudden stroke)  A lingering death from fallout as your teeth and hair fall out  A certain death from cancer if you smoke  But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus  Gazing out across the open sea  I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus  And they look extremely tired to me  Put your faith in God, he won't expect you  Put your faith in death because it's free  If you believe in nothing, honey, it believes in you  For God's sake don't waste any faith on me  When he comes to judge us in his glory (in his glory)  Then we'll see how old a man can get (man can get)  He must be feeling ancient up there on the rim of space  Two thousand years and he ain't been back yet  But I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus  Rub their eyes and gape at what they see  I have seen the sleeping knights of Jesus  And it looks as though they've noticed me  And it looks as though they've noticed me
