Priest

Deep in prayer my cross to bear
I kneel upon the floor
Temptations of a Catholic priest aren´t easy to ignore
But I cannot control myself
It rips my soul apart
For one small sheep among my flock has
Stole the shepherd´s heart
Altar boy, altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of god
Inside my rectory
At Sunday Mass or Bible class
I catch him in my view
So I close my eyes but there he lies
Spread eagle on the pew
And when I see him in that frock
My conscience goes awry
I´ll give him some communion wine thats
Spiked with spanish fly
Altar boy, altar boy
Is it gonna be heaven or hell
You can play my organ all night long
If you promise never to tell
Our Father
Who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
I could dress him up like the pope and then I´d....
Oh dear god the shame
no no no
Lead us not into temptation
Deliver us from sin
We could pretend that he was Jesus Christ
And I was Mary Magdalene
Altar boy, altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of god
Inside my rectory
Oh altar boy, oh altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of god
Inside my rectory
I kneel upon the floor
Temptations of a Catholic priest aren´t easy to ignore
But I cannot control myself
It rips my soul apart
For one small sheep among my flock has
Stole the shepherd´s heart
Altar boy, altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of god
Inside my rectory
At Sunday Mass or Bible class
I catch him in my view
So I close my eyes but there he lies
Spread eagle on the pew
And when I see him in that frock
My conscience goes awry
I´ll give him some communion wine thats
Spiked with spanish fly
Altar boy, altar boy
Is it gonna be heaven or hell
You can play my organ all night long
If you promise never to tell
Our Father
Who art in Heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
I could dress him up like the pope and then I´d....
Oh dear god the shame
no no no
Lead us not into temptation
Deliver us from sin
We could pretend that he was Jesus Christ
And I was Mary Magdalene
Altar boy, altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of god
Inside my rectory
Oh altar boy, oh altar boy
Confess your sins to me
You will find the grace of god
Inside my rectory
