lyrics

the Vatican telegraphs the saviors agoraphobes
with serpent-tongued homilies on what he abhors
the junk mail stacked from the floor to the ceiling
never entertain the devil with your back to the door
spitting plutocrat parables at debutante balls
filling inchworm splinters into plagiarists lungs
the amoral majority is smelling a rat
better exit through the cellar while you still have your thumbs

draw a jet black canopy to shade this tight rope
keep your first born off the electorates side
a red tide cacophony begins at sundown
the threat will pass if you can keep from moving your eyes

lying with your faith lips down on the pavement
bleeding at the knee
head split wide open
running from the god-child trying to save you
tearing out your nails when there's no one around

all crumpled waxed paper on your liturgy battlefield
Awake and Watchtower on linoleum floors
leave the hard translation to the wisdom of autocrats
their harlots jewelry on the company card
and we're paid to forgive
strong-armed to forget
payday loans and pawn shops funding war chest alms
though the magistrate promised you a recall election
hold your tongue; don't hold your breath, it's just not in the cards
behind a wrought iron curtain they're enforcing curfew
citing hate-speak hymnals
read between the lines
it only took one signature to cut this tightrope
dodge the telepaths if you can keep from moving your eyes
