lyrics

In the deep dark apartment near the city park
Your whole heart spread open like a toad
Pilgrim be brave, she's the very sort of soul you'd save
A special favor for your favorite god

O sweet repeat offense, the skin taking fingerprints
Your star witness singing like a dove
Pilgrim play nice, she's the kind of lamb you'd sacrifice
It comes from someplace deeper than your love

Take your silence of vows
Boy, you ought to know by now
You'll never stop
Everybody drop

In the deep dark, where good intentions miss their mark
Your old heart's not as sturdy as you'd thought
Pilgrim get real, it's not the pangs of guilt you feel
It's just the good old fashioned fear of getting caught

And here's the short list of states of grace that don't exist
A pure bliss, a deed without regret
Lady don't wake, everything's for form's sake
These days it takes so very little to forget

Now why so strange?
Boy, you know you'll never change
You know you'll never stop
Everybody, everybody drop

Boy, bite your tongue
How'd you think you stay so young?
How you ever gonna stop?
