You went looking for shelter
|
In all the wrong spaces
|
You grew gluttonous and famous with faces
|
Nameless and blank
|
Superstitiously you name them
|
St. Christopher and Johanna
|
St. Christopher and Johanna
|
St. Christopher and Johanna
|
|
Overcome with the holiday spirit
|
Mark says the herald angels won't hear it
|
And remember the wolves that you run with are wolves
|
Don't forget
|
|
They exist to give you something to regret, I'll beat them to it
|
With something sadder than that brass portrait that shines through your morning din
|
With something sadder than that brass portrait that shines through your morning din
|
|
I'll give you something to be sad about
|
Hey the picture really captures your mouth
|
Poised to say:
|
It's your turn to go down now, it's your turn to go down now
|
It's your turn to go down now, it's your turn to go down now
|
In the spirit of giving in
|
|
Glad prayer Mary come on (repeated)
|
All I wanted was an answer to the secret
|
Ground floor Mary come on
|
Outboard Mary come on
|
All I wanted was an answer to
|
Your money or your life? Your money or your life?
|
I was sick of America and her screaming decay
|
I was in a band we were singing 'hooray' quite often
|
But your momma was poor your daddy was poor
|
Whatcha gonna do?
|
Your mother was poor your father was poor
|
Whatcha gonna do
|
about it?
|
Glad prayer Mary come on
