Levon Lyrics

Levon wears his war wound like a crown
He calls his child Jesus
'Cause he likes the name
And he sends him to the finest school in town

Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot, they say
Spends his days counting
In a garage by the motorway

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon, forever and a day

Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
His family business thrives
Jesus blows up balloons all day
Sits on the porch swing watching them fly
( From: http://www.elyrics.net )

And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
Leave Levon far behind
Take a balloon and go sailing
While Levon, Levon slowly dies

He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas Day
When the New York Times said God is dead
And the war's begun
Alvin Tostig has a son today, yeah

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan, whoo
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon, forever and a day

And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
And he shall be Levon
In tradition with the family plan, whoo
And he shall be Levon
And he shall be a good man
He shall be Levon, forever and a day
