Priest

Stephen Lynch

Deep in prayer my cross to bear
I kneel upon the floor
temptations of a catholic priest aren't easy to ignore
but I can not control myself
he rips my soul apart
for one small sheep among my flock has
stolen the shepherd's heartaltar boy, altar boy
confess your sins to me
you will find the grace of god
inside my rectoryAt sunday mass or bible class
I catch him in my view
I close my eyes but there he lies
spread eagle on the pew
and when I see him in that frock
my concience goes array
I'll give him some communion wine thats
spiked with spanish flyaltar boy, altar boy
is it gonna be heaven or hell
you can play my organ all night long
if you promise never to tellour father
who art in heaven
hallowed be thy name
if you thought the second coming was bad
then the third ones gonna be insane
lead us not into temptation
deliver us from sin
we could pretend that he was jesus christ
and I was mary magdalenealtar boy, altar boy
confess your sins to me
you will find the grace of god
inside my rectoryoh altar boy, oh altar boy
confess your sins to me
you will find the grace of god
inside my rec...tory
