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.

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.

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.

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                 Dm                         E              Am7
