Here's a story of an honest man losing religion,
|
Climbing the pulpit steps before an eager congregation,
|
The while praying came a wicked inspiration,
|
Brothers, sisters this is what he said:
|
|
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
|
(Make no mistake, despite our traits, I've seldom seen evidence of genes)
|
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you!
|
|
He was the kind of guy who'd always go right out of his way,
|
But more before that crazy notion leapt right into his head,
|
And stubbornly crept into every mad perception,
|
I can't deny a funny feeling when he said:
|
|
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
|
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you!
|
|
Dearest in memoriam - set phasers to stun
|
And grab yourself a neighbors' skeleton to lean upon,
|
Did you know him in life - one filled with regret,
|
So soon we all forget - we ever met,
|
|
Do you know my name - sing a light refrain
|
For a man estranged - I won't deny that I'm inclined to isolate
|
|
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved, dearly beloved,
|
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you!
|
I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you, I can't relate to you!
