Mary Christ

Talking to a punker priest
Just dogging the breeze
About being in a tree
(He says it's free now!)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skating light on ice
And says: Let's go on high
(Later, priestoid!)
You gotta go - I got a date now
Yeh I know - shall not be late now
Possessed by x-ray eyes
Her spirit spy's into my lies
(Let's burn 'em out now!)
Wraps my head in skin
Says now I'm in
Dig the candy skin
(Yeah spit it out now!)
Everytime - she sings that low song
Everytime - I guess she's right/wrong
Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(Uh, like what now!?)
Hope I hope you like
Like you like your hope
With the tightest rope
(I see, I know now!)
Here we go - I've been waitin so long
Yeh I know - for mary to come along
Talking to a punker priest
Just dogging the breeze
About beein in a tree
(He says it's free now!)
Along comes Mary Christ
Skating light on ice
And says: Let's go on high
(Later, priestoid!)
You gotta go - I got a date now
Yeh I know - shall not be late now
Possessed by x-ray eyes
Her spirit spy's into my lies
(Let's burn 'em out now!)
Angel in a devil skirt
Buys me a shirt
Says I hope you like
(Let's burn 'em out now!)
Here we go - I've been waitin so long
Yeh I know - for mary to come along
