lyrics

back-break boys at the gentlemen’s club
you can define the man by the ale in his cup
i took my seat by Reverend Bell
said, “brother, i won’t tell if you won’t tell”
the back-light caught her sequin dress
like a holy ghost in the modern sense
like a part-time maid in a tired motel
whose dream’s a paycheck and wedding bells

we are on two parallel lines
we’ll be running in circles our whole life
and we’re never to be satisfied
don’t give me those big cemetery eyes
cause no one died… i’ll be alright! you’ll be just fine.

the old country boys made Sunday mass
they washed their sins with the wine in their glass
the pastor stood on the hardwood throne
said, “you earned your bread now start to atone!”
the tabernacle serenades the contractors for their daily wage
the satin doll, the service maid, are lining up to take their place
on two parallel lines.

brother, get your sharpest gun, fix the heavens in your sight
load the barrel with that scripture, make your penance heard tonight
we will run back to the sea wall, don’t give a damn bout what they know
we will lay our flowers by your headstone
and say grace to the earth below
