Saint Augustine In Hell |
If somebody up there likes me somebody up there cares |
Deliver me from evil save me from these wicked snares |
Not into temptation, not to cliffs to fall |
On to revelation, and lesson for us all |
She walked into the room on the arm of my best friend |
I knew whatever happened our friendship would end |
Chemical reaction, desire at first sight |
Mystical attraction, turned out all my lights |
The minute I saw her face the second I caught her eye |
The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die |
The minute I saw her face the second I caught her eye |
The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die |
I don’t know if it’s pain or pleasure that I seek |
My flesh was all too willing, my spirit guide was weak |
I was deadly certain thoughts for me weren’t kind |
A switchblade in his pocket, murder on his mind |
Blessed St. Theresa the whore of Babylon |
Madonna and my mother all rolled into one |
You’ve got to understand me, I’m not a piece of wood |
Francis of Assisi could never be this good |
The less I need the more I get |
Make me chaste but not just yet |
It’s a promise or a lie I’ll repent before I die |
Relax, have a cigar, make yourself at home. |
Hell is full of high court |
Judges, failed saints. |
We’ve got Cardinals, Archbishops, barristers |
Certified accountants, music critics, they’re all here. |
You’re not alone |
You’re never alone, not here you’re not. |
OK break’s over |
