Got a new raw silk jacket, white Miami shoes
Thirteen body piercings, multiple tattoos,
You’re on a roll, you’re never gonna lose
Welcome to the big time
Got a thrivin’ start-up business, sales are out of sight
Boogie with the vampires, your office hours at night
Christmas sure was white
Welcome to the big time
And you’re ridin’ the roller coaster, thinkin’ you ain’t gonna fall
Did you ever stop to think that maybe it ain’t the big time at all?
And how are things with the king of kings, you’re lookin’ kind of beat
Forty days, forty nights, keepin’ on the heat
Help me fleece the sheep
Welcome to the big time
Baptisms, healings, and pow-wows with the Lord.
Come on come on Christian soldiers, come on bite my sword
Keeps ya from being bored
Welcome to the big time
And you’re ridin’ the holy roller coaster,
will angels catch you when you fall
Did you ever stop to think that
maybe this ain’t the big time at all?
You messed with Mr. C now you’re going for the ride
Sex and drugs and money, all you want now is to be alive
But you’re dead at twenty-five
Apocalyptic nightmare, the bottom’s droppin’ out
Caught you with a teenage creature, the preacher’s been found out
It’s Satan’s twist and shout
Welcome to the big time
And you’re ridin’ on a roller coaster, thinkin’ you ain’t gonna fall
Did you ever stop to think that maybe it ain’t the big time at all?
But you’re, you’re ridin’ the roller coaster, thinkin’ you ain’t gonna fall
Did you ever stop to think that maybe you ain’t the big time at all?
