How I Left the Ministry
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.
There was one thing I found that I couldn't help thinking
As they pried me free with the jaws of life
None of this disaster would ever have happened
If I had not been driving my neighbor's wife
To the Alta Loma Days Inn where I'd registered us as
A couple with a name I'm sure some other couple somewhere has
And the last thing I saw before falling unconscious
Was your right hand tracing a heart on my thigh
And I thought "My God what an infantile gesture"
And I thought "My God what an indescribable high"
The autumn air was sweeter than a slice of wedding cake
As I overshot the exit and I tried and failed to find the brake
