Intro:
A minorAm x4

A minorAm             A minorAm
A augmentedA monk with a hard-on, And a lavender robe
   DmDm          E MajorE
That scratches his thighs, Through the hat that he strode
A minorAm          A minorAm
As he follows a path, Filled with every desire
  DmDm          E MajorE            A minorAm
And mimics his footsteps, And sets his prayers on fire.

A minorAm            A minorAm
Well I too have chosen, That which left no choice
  DmDm         E MajorE
To sing without loving,A solitary voice,
A minorAm            A minorAm
To observe with passion, Each careful denial
  DmDm               E MajorE           A minorAm
The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while.

   A minorAm           DmDm
   Sometimes I see you in berries and weeds
      C majorC            FF
   You're brushing your teeth with liquorice seeds
   FF          A#A#
   Standing too close, Pulling your clothes,
   E MajorE
   Smiling at God And the meaning of life grows.


A minorAm            A minorAm
No and I'll never tell, And I'll never know
   DmDm         E MajorE
What candles you light, After the show
A minorAm          A minorAm
And I'll never tell, And I'll never ask
  DmDm       E MajorE
The meaning of life after mass.
