Eels - Altar Boy Lyrics
A monk with a hard-onAnd a lavender robeThat scratches his thighsThrough the hat that he strodeAs he follows a pathFilled with every desireAnd mimics his footstepsAnd sets his prayers on fire.Well I too have chosenThat which left no choiceTo sing without loving,A solitary voice,To observe with passionEach careful denial:The protrusions which give my life meaningFor a while.Sometimes I see you in berries and weedsYoure brushing your teeth with liquorice seedsStanding too close,Pulling your clothes,Smiling at godAnd the meaning of life grows.No and Ill never tellAnd Ill never knowWhat candles you lightAfter the showAnd Ill never tell,And Ill never askThe meaning of life after mass.
