Lyrics
Ballad of the Chrome Nun
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.
Look in the mirror you're lookin' guilty
Did the devil just give you the nod
You may be thinking you're funny lookin'
Well you're right that's right you're plenty odd
But think about it think about it
If you were funny enough
You could play great god
And I would fall down on my knees to you
Fall down flat on my face
I don't have to ask you where you're going
I just sit here laaghing & I watch the race
Nobody needs to baptize me
Anytime I laugh I got religion
Cross my forehead cross my knees
I'll take any good sign I'm a clay pigeon
Nobody needs to baptize me
Anytime I laugh I got religion
And I fall down on my knees to you
I fall down flat on my face
