0:14A monk with a hard on in a lavender robe
0:19That scratches his thighs for the height that he strode
0:23As he follows a path filled with harried desire
0:29And mimics his footsteps and sets his prayers on fire
0:39Glad to have chosen that which left no choice
0:45To sing without loving in a solitary voice
0:50To observe with passion each careful denial
0:54The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while
1:05Sometimes I see you eating berries and weeds
1:10You're brushing your teeth with licorice seeds
1:16Standing too close holding your clothes
1:21Smiling at god the meaning of life grows
1:32No no I'll never tell and I'll never know
1:37What candles you light after the show
1:43And I'll never tell
1:46And I'll never ask
1:48The meaning of life after mass
A monk with a hard on in a lavender robe That scratches his thighs for the height that he strode As he follows a path filled with harried desire And mimics his footsteps and sets his prayers on fire Glad to have chosen that which left no choice To sing without loving in a solitary voice To observe with passion each careful denial The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while Sometimes I see you eating berries and weeds You're brushing your teeth with licorice seeds Standing too close holding your clothes Smiling at god the meaning of life grows No no I'll never tell and I'll never know What candles you light after the show And I'll never tell And I'll never ask The meaning of life after mass
