Saint Augustine In Hell

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
If somebody up there likes me somebody up there caresDeliver me from evil save me from these wicked snaresNot into temptation, not to cliffs to fallOn to revelation, and lesson for us allShe walked into the room on the arm of my best friendI knew whatever happened our friendship would endChemical reaction, desire at first sightMystical attraction, turned out all my lightsThe minute I saw her face the second I caught her eyeThe minute I touched the flame I knew it would never dieThe minute I saw her face the second I caught her eyeThe minute I touched the flame I knew it would never dieI dont know if its pain or pleasure that I seekMy flesh was all too willing, my spirit guide was weakI was deadly certain thoughts for me werent kindA switchblade in his pocket, murder on his mindBlessed st. theresa the whore of babylonMadonna and my mother all rolled into oneYouve got to understand me, Im not a piece of woodFrancis of assisi could never be this goodThe minute I saw her face the second I caught her eyeThe minute I touched the flame I knew it would never dieThe minute I saw her face the second I caught her eyeThe minute I touched the flame I knew it would never dieRelax, have a cigar, make yourself at home. hell is full of high courtJudges, failed saints. weve got cardinals, archbishops, barristers,Certified accountants, music critics, theyre all here. youre not alone.Youre never alone, not here youre not. ok breaks over.The less I need the more I getMake me chaste but not just yetIts a promise or a lie Ill repent before I dieThe minute I saw her face the second I caught her eyeThe minute I touched the flame I knew it would never dieThe minute I saw her face the second I caught her eyeThe minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
