Part I

There's a bishop at the 7-11 singin'
confessional hymns of the Holy Scripture
drowning line by line in the subliminal hysteria,
on the verge of apocalyptic paranoia
all will soon fall to dust.

Watchin' the parade of the Boulevard
sowing his seed with the last of his dope,
bleeding the girls who've lost their faith....
the Patron Saint of Holy Abstinence.

There's a bishop at the 7-11,
the servant dripping with blood,
lookin' down at the fall of Christ
you can hear his endless chant
"Confess your sins 'n all will be forgiven."
