lyrics

Don't disparage the king or embarrass yourself. The weight of this cross can stand by itself. Cousin, I'll light the candle, you just stand still. The congregation is starting to catch on. I heard a rumor that no one gets our humor. The bishop starts barking and my laughter's like a tumor that I can't calm down. The sound of these psalms now sounds like a static sea of stale philosophy.
Mary was a bad girl and everybody knew it, kept a pint of rum inside her velvet jacket. A cut throat king pin of the fashion racket, tie a rope round your waist so you will always come back.
