Lost My Motto |
| She’s on the payroll of the Vatican Bank |
| But she works in an American book store |
| And her husband is the Byzantine type |
| I asked her what she had to do at St Mike’s |
| She said «I came here trying to remember something,» |
| «But I’m only in it now for the wine» |
| Her daddy doesn’t run the store |
| And what’s more, he gets no confession from me |
| I lost my motto |
| I lost my motto |
| She expects no optical illusions from me |
| Not that she doesn’t give me plenty to witness |
| It’s just I don’t know how to part the Red Sea |
| I don’t want to be in his morality play |
| He thinks that marriage is a good institution |
| So let him find a girl to keep it that way |
| It might make it better that he’s bad to her |
| But I don’t know what’s happened to my boundaries |
| I lost my motto |
| I lost my motto |
| I lost my motto |
| And I don’t think this is an issue with God |
| When it comes to the law, I wouldn’t think I’m a purist |
| You can’t break something that doesn’t work anymore |
| And now I’m seeing my life like a tourist |
| We took a taxi to a their summer retreat |
| We changed the locks and the points of access |
| We didn’t go to the front door for a week |
| I found a volume by the side of their bed |
| I said «I've read it, I’m awaiting the sequel» |
| She gave me «Under The Volcano» instead |
| And said «Now what was that you lost?» |
| And I said «Not too much, just my fortune cookie» |
| I lost my motto |
| I lost my motto |
| I lost my motto |
| Oh |
