Altar Boy Lyrics by Rickie Lee Jones

Altar Boy Lyrics

    A monk with a hard on in a lavender robe
    That scratches his thighs for the height that he strode
    As he follows a path filled with harried desire
    And mimics his footsteps and sets his prayers on fire
    Glad to have chosen that which left no choice
    To sing without loving in a solitary voice
    To observe with passion each careful denial
    The protrusions which give my life meaning for a while

    Sometimes I see you in embarrasing ways
    You're brushing your teeth with licorice seeds
    Standing too close, holding your clothes
    Smiling at God, the meaning of life grows
    No, no I'll never tell and I'll never know
    What candles you light after the show
    And I'll never tell and I'll never ask
    The meaning of life after mass
