[Intro]
Am Am Am Am
 
[Verse]
Am                         Am
A monk with a hard-on, And a lavender robe
      Dm                   E
That scratches his thighs, Through the hat that he strode
Am                    Am
As he follows a path, Filled with every desire
    Dm                    E                       Am
And mimics his footsteps, And sets his prayers on fire.
 
[Verse]
Am                       Am
Well I too have chosen, That which left no choice
   Dm                  E
To sing without loving,A solitary voice,
Am                       Am
To observe with passion, Each careful denial
    Dm                             E                     Am
The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while.
 
[Chorus]
A                      Dm
Sometimes I see you in berries and weeds
       C                        F
You're brushing your teeth with liquorice seeds
F                   A#
Standing too close, Pulling your clothes,
E
Smiling at God And the meaning of life grows.
 
[Verse]
Am                       Am
No and I'll never tell, And I'll never know
     Dm                  E
What candles you light, After the show
Am                   Am
And I'll never tell, And I'll never ask
    Dm              E
The meaning of life after mass. 
 
Am Am7
