Priest Lyrics - Stephen Lynch

Deep in prayer my cross to bear 

I kneel upon the floor 

temptations of a catholic priest aren't easy to ignore 

but I can not control myself 

he rips my soul apart 

for one small sheep among my flock has 

stolen 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 

I close my eyes but there he lies 

spread eagle on the pew 

and when I see him in that frock 

my concience goes array 

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 

if you thought the second coming was bad 

then the third ones gonna be insane 

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 rec...tory
