Ban Marriage Lyrics - The Hidden Cameras

I was late getting to church on the morning of my ceremony 

Stayed up too late, the night before 

From fingering foreign dirty holes in the dark 

The morning sun blinded my eyes 

And made my skin look pale and tainted in light 

And there were steps to climb as I unloosened my tie 

As I began to walk the aisle 

The congregation looked behind but I continued past the pews 

And met my angel in a suit with a smile 

As I looked him in the eye, I heard my best friend cry 

We aren't fools to fall in love but let coupledom die 

Ban marriage, ban marriage 

The minister was drunk and high from 

His rewrite of holy verse with more lies 

But the organist she played 

With a tenacity and grace that was fine 

The whole room was filled with the thunder and flood 

With just one chord, the thrill and clarity of sound 

But soon the song went slowly dead 

And I was forced to take a stand on one side 

It was him or my fag hag, oh, well 

I guess, she was never that good of a friend 

After my fag hag friend had fled 

The minister looked mighty fed and content 

We said his rewritten vows that I could hardly pronounce 

But was soon drowned it out by that organ and the shout 

Ban marriage, ban marriage 

Ban marriage, ban marriage 

The congregation, stunned and dumbed 

Looked upon me with an innocuous stare 

I went down on my knees, I prayed that 

There be truth and there be light in my day 

In my hungover daze, I felt the thunder of God 

It was the orders that I take the wrath upon my own rod 

Then I repeated my own vows 

They were perverted and they smelled of myself 

That there is splendor in the harshness of bum 

That consummation makes a grumble 

And the sound that I have learned called 

Ban marriage, ban marriage 

Ban marriage, ban marriage 

Ban marriage, ban it all
