Lyrics

sunday morning and i go to church late
to put another dollar in the heavenly plate
good morning mr parsons i hope you are well
hello mrs robinson i'll see you in hell
the preacher in pulpit says i've got a disease
and if i dont start stopping these catastrophes
i'll be eradicated and tossed aside
might as well be a suicide

left foot right foot blink inhale

jamie is blonde haired girl with pearls for eyes
and she always gets the hottest guys
because she uses her head she knows how to be seen
and she uses her bed (if you know what i mean)
the more she keeps it up the more the heat rises
its happening to her before she realizes
her stomachs getting larger
hey little girl life's full of suprises

left foot right foot blink inhale


well i've never seen a reason good enough to make me stay with plethora of people who dont care what i say.
so i'll try to be preacher to a different crowd, an audience where other people arent allowed
and at each and every sermon i'll get just what i need i'll preach the gospel according to me

dont want your disease
(now get the hell away from me)
dont know who you are you are
(so get the hell away from me)
dont want to be seen
(so get the hell away from me)
im a recluse now (close my weary eyes)
(now get the hell away from me)
dont want your disease (ease my troubled mind)
(so get the hell away from me)
