Hey there, father

I don't want to bother you

But I've got a sin to confess

I'm just sixteen if you know what I mean

Do you mind if I take off my dress

I don't know where to start

So let me get to the good parts

You might want to cross up your legs

I've got envy I've got greed, anything that you need

And I'm not above having to beg

There was this boy who

Tore my heart in two

And I had to lay him eight feet under ground

All I need is someone to save me

Cus I am going down

What I need is someone to save me

Cus I am going' down

All the way down

Well, hey there, father

There is just one other thing

I have a simple request

I hear you know God

Could you give him a nod in my direction

I would be in your debt

Perhaps there is something that we could work out

I notice your breathing has starting to change

We could go in the back

Behind all these stacks of bibles

And get out of this cage

There was this boy who

Tore my heart in two

And I had to lay him eight feet under ground

All I need is someone to save me

Cus I am going down

What I need is someone to save me

Cus, God, I'm going' down

All the way down

I didn't wanna do it father

But I caught him with another woman in the bed

I made and so I put him in the grave and now

There's no one left around to get me off

When I want it's a drag

Next day on the television they identified him

By the circumsision that I made

And now I'm on the run but wait

Why did I have to go and kill him

When he was the best I ever had

All I need is someone to save me

Cus I am going down

What I need is something to save me

Cus, God, I'm going' down

All the way down

I'm going down

All the way down
