Seven Mary Three - Devil Boy

Ii slept through easter yesterday
right through christmas just the same
priest came up to me all up in arms
he said “devil boy, what have you done?”

hey devil boy: we’re gonna blow your house in
hey devil boy: what do you think of that?

for heaven’ sake
it’s only been two thousand years
and I can’t wait any longer for you

the jesuits rolled in their tanks to my front door
the capuchins held a love in on my front porch
the augustinians kept to themselves
stuck their tongues out in a row

they said devil boy it’s off to hell you go

and so I sit and pray for her to call me there
i’ll burn that bridge a thousand times
on the cross I bear
just to wonder if you’re listening
from a soapbox in the sky
to finally realize my pride, was it you or was it i?
