"to anyone who wondered
what old jebus meant to me
take him out to go diving
in red patoka sea"
Is Jebus a Simpsons reference? Or where did this come from?
If you do a google search for Jebus you will be amazed
2 bands named Jebus that I saw
+ there's a Jebus sings (which I can't hear 'cause I am at work)

Hmmm....I've wondered what that means too. Interesting point...
That song just blows my fucking mind every time. Absolutely beautiful.
I assumed it was from the Simpsons - that episode where Homer becomes a missionary. "help me, Jebus!"
Patoka Lake is in Indiana... a quick yahoo search on it says that iron and manganese stain the rocks red and brown.
It's definitely my favorite track from the album. I thought it was about a relationship, maybe a relationship gone/going wrong, so perhaps Jebus is some nickname for a former lover? It's not as clear as 'Rollin'Back' though, wich is definitely about a break-up... Hmm, I'll have to read the lyrics a little more careful, perhaps.
