marching bands and barricades

the violent men who dance the blood ballet
and the bookies say , bookies say it’s the 3rd round

and oh my my oh hey hey
here he comes , the welterweight
take a dive , for goodness sake
or say goodbye to the welterweight

catholic priest , catholic priest in a crisis
he’s torn between romance and jesus , who will win the civil war

and he’s singin songs , singin songs for the lonely
all the girls with the room keys , they know all his words by heart , by heart and they all sing

burn the car and save the plates
