Lyric

It's a small congregation 
about the same size as the clergy 
we've got ten thousand tunes 
in our hot liturgy 
we try to bring a little light to the dark 
that's how we pray in the church of the spark 

we love st. louis 
and st. cecilia 
st. jack daniels 
and santa tequila 
we sing in the street, we play in the park 
wherever it's swingin', there's the church of the spark 

no marble altars, just the bar 
no silver chalice, just a mason jar 
we warm up with wine and when we're cooling our jets 
we smoke jazz cigarettes

we're bringing the word 
to the cocktail nation 
silence to song 
now that's transubstantiation 
a soul at a time, we're making our mark 
door's wide open at the church of the spark 

no marble altars, just the bar 
no silver chalice, just a mason jar 
we warm up with wine and when we're cooling our jets 
we smoke jazz cigarettes 

so if you find yourself dragging 
just a step behind 
step right up 
to an altered state of mind 
two by two, step on into the ark 
the ship that's sailing is the church of the spark
