Devil Boy

I slept through Easter yesterday

right through Christmas just the same

the priest came up to me all up in arms

he said, "devil boy what have you done?"

the Jesuits rolled in their tanks to my front door

while the capuchins held a love-in on my front porch

the augustinians kept to themselves, stuck their tongues out in a row

they said, "devil boy, it's off to hell you go!"

so I'll sit and pray for her to call me there

and I'll burn that bridge a 1000 times, on the cross I bear

just to wonder if you're listening from a soap box in the sky

to finally realize my price, was it you or I?

hey devil boy

we're going to blow you're house in

hey devil boy

what do you think of that?

for heaven's sake

it's only been 2000 years

and I can't wait any longer for you

for heaven's sake

I'd give away eternity

if you would come back to me, if would come back to me

if you would come back to me, if would come back to me
