Cause I lost my job...
two weeks before Christmas...
And I talked to Jesus at the sewer...
And the Pope said it was none..
of his Goddamned business...
While the rain drank champagne...

My Estonian Archangel came..
and got me wasted...
Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got...
is the one I've never tasted...
Oh but they'll take...
their bonus pay...
to Molly McDonald...
Neon lady...
beauty's that which obeys...
is bought or borrowed...

Cause my heart's become
a crooked hotel...
full of rumours...
But it's I who pays the rent...
for these fingered face
out of tuners...
and I make sixteen solid..
half hour friendships...
every evening...

Cause your queen of hearts
who's half a stone
And likes to laugh alone...
is always threatening
you with leaving...

Oh but they play...
those token games...
on Willy Thompson...
And give a medal...
to replace the son..
of Mrs. Annie Johnson...

Cause they told me
everybody's got
to pay their dues...
And I explained that
I had overpaid them...
So overdued I went to
the company store...
and the clerk there said that
they had just been invaded...
So I set sail in a teardrop...
and escaped beneath the doorsill...
Cause the smell of her perfume...
echoes in my head still...

Cause I see my people
tryin' to drown the sun...
In weekends of whiskey sours...
Cause how many times
can you wake up in this comic book...
and plant flowers..?
