Portugal. The Man – Church Mouth Lyrics 14 years ago
"fill me up with money, gold, aint nobody ever needs me.
take me to the steeple, let them preachers hands abathe me.
im going down down to the river, aint nobody needs me
out in this water, let those mans hands abathe me
down down down down down"


i think hes talking about jesus' baptism.
cause he was baptized in a river
and his baptism was a sign that he was just a man like all of us
while he was being baptized noone was coming to him
asking him for a miracle or for him to speak
it was like he was just a normal man again
hence " aint nobody needs me out in this water"

" let those mans hands abathe me"
or john the baptists hands.


but then again who knows what john was really writing about.
all i can say is hes on another level.
