Song and lyrics

Lyrics: Josh: I’ve got my head in the clouds ‘cause that’s where heaven is! No longer stuck in the muck on the ground. I figured out how to live! It’s with my head in the clouds... Got no cares anymore! No obligations are holding me down, that’s what religion is for! Anything you want to confess my son? Not anymore priest me! Reality was getting so complicated all the drama was getting insane! But now I’ve given my life to Mr. Jesus Christ so I’m speeding down the carpool lane! God’s my E-ZPass. I’ve got my head in the clouds! Blessed with a permanent smile! I feel just like baby Moses on the day he was found on de Nile! It is just a river in Egypt! I was almost toast but now I’ve got the Holy Ghost! Pew! Holy Ghost: Did somebody say ‘Holy Ghost?’ Josh: Whoa! That’s what you look like? Holy Ghost: It’s what you think I look like. Now let’s dance! Off to lunch with Caspar! Josh: My puzzle is solved cause I’m absolved life will be splendid now that I’ve transcended! When things get scary just say ten Hail Mary’s! I’m Turin off my Shroud with my head in the clouds!

Notes

Homage

This song, particularly the dance sequence, is an homage of Gene Kelly’s musical performance in the 1952 film "Singin’ in the Rain".

Holy Ghost

In the Christian faith, the Holy Ghost (or Spirit) is a part of the divine trinity alongside the Father (God) and the Son (Jesus). Each are aspects of God but are separate entities themselves while also one being at the same time which is referred to as Consubstantiality. In some classic paintings the Son is depicted as a baby and the Holy Ghost/Spirit is depicted as a dove.

The Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Concert performance
