Cause Lyrics - Coming From Reality - Rodriguez

Cause I lost my job two weeks before Christmas 

And I talked to Jesus at the sewer 

And the Pope said it was none of his God-damned business 

While the rain drank champagne 

My Estonian Archangel came and got me wasted 

Cause the sweetest kiss I ever got is the one I've never tasted 

Oh but they'll take their bonus pay to Molly McDonald, 

Neon ladies, beauty is that which obeys, is bought or borrowed 

Cause my heart's become a crooked hotel full of rumours 

But it's I who pays the rent for these fingered-face out-of-tuners 

and I make 16 solid half hour friendships every evening 

Cause your queen of hearts who is half a stone 

And likes to laugh alone is always threatening you with leaving 

Oh but they play those token games on Willy Thompson 

And give a medal to replace the son of Mrs. Annie Johnson 

Cause they told me everybody's got to pay their dues 

And I explained that I had overpaid them 

So overdued I went to the company store 

and the clerk there said that they had just been invaded 

So I set sail in a teardrop and escaped beneath the doorsill 

Cause the smell of her perfume echoes in my head still 

Cause I see my people trying to drown the sun 

In weekends of whiskey sours 

Cause how many times can you wake up in this comic book and plant flowers?
