Lyrics
Holy
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
While you read to me from the riot act way on high, high
Clutching a crisp new testament, breathing fire, fire
Will you save me the fake benevolence, I don't have time, I'm...
Just too far gone for a-tellin', lost my pride, I don't mind
Being lonely, so leave me alone
Aw, you're acting all holy, me, I'm just full of holes
Well I can dip my head in the river
Cleanse my soul, oh
I'd still have the stomach of a sinner
Face like an unholy ghost
Will you save me all the soliloquies
Paid my fines, I'll be
Gone before my deliverance
Preach what you like, cause I don't mind
Being lonely, so leave me alone
You're acting all holy, me, I'm just full of holes, full of holes
Don't mind being lonely, spare me the brimstone
Acting all holy, when you know I'm full of holes
Don't mind be lonely, don't need to be told
Stop acting so holy, I know I'm full of holes, full of holes
I don't mind being lonely, so leave me alone
You're, oh, so holy, that I'll never be good enough
Don't care if I'm lonely, cause it feels like home
I won't ever be holy, thank god I'm full of holes, full of holes
