G#m                         G#m
A monk with a hard-on, And a lavender robe

      C#m                   D# 
That scratches his thighs, Through the hat that he strode

G#m                    G#m
As he follows a path, Filled with every desire

    C#m                    D#                       G#m
And mimics his footsteps, And sets his prayers on fire.

G#m                       G#m
Well I too have chosen, That which left no choice

   C#m                  D# 
To sing without loving,A solitary voice,

G#m                       G#m
To observe with passion, Each careful denial

    C#m                             D#                     G#m
The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while.

     G#m                     C#m
     Sometimes I see you in berries and weeds

            B                        E
     You're brushing your teeth with liquorice seeds

     E                   A  
     Standing too close, Pulling your clothes,

     D#
     Smiling at God And the meaning of life grows.

G#m                       G#m
No and I'll never tell, And I'll never know

     C#m                  D# 
What candles you light, After the show

G#m                   G#m
And I'll never tell, And I'll never ask

    C#m              D# 
The meaning of life after mass. 

    G#m                 C#m                         D#
