Lyrics for 'Catholic Boy' by 'Jim Caroll'
I Was Born In A Pool, They Made My Mother Stand
And I Spat On That Surgeon And His Trembling Hand
When I Felt The Light I Was Worse Than Bored
I Stole The Doctor's Scalpel And I Slit The Cord
Refrain:
I Was A Catholic Boy,
Redeemed Through Pain,
Not Through Joy
I Was Two Months Early They Put Me Under Glass
I Screamed And Cursed Their Children When The Nurses Passed
Was Convicted Of Theft When I Slipped From The Womb
They Led Me Straight From My Mother To A Cell In The Tombs
Repeat Refrain
They Starved Me For Weeks, They Thought They'd Teach Me Fear
I Fed On Cellmates' Dreams, It Gave Me Fine Ideas
When They Cut Me Loose, The Time Had Served Me Well
I Made Allies In Heaven, I Made Comrades In Hell
I Was A Catholic Child
The Blood Ran Red
The Blood Ran Wild
I Make Angels Dance And Drop To Their Knees
When I Enter A Church The Feet Of Statues Bleed
I Understand The Fate Of All My Enemies
Just Like Christ In The Garden Of Gethsemane
Repeat Refrain
I Watched The Sweetest Psalm Stolen By The Choir
I Dreamed Of Martyrs' Bones Hanging From A Wire
I Make A Contribution, I Get Absolution
I Make A Resolution To Purify My Soul
Repeat Refrain
They Can't Touch Me Now
I Got Every Sacrament Behind Me:
I Got Baptism,
I Got Communion,
I Got Penance,
I Got Extreme Unction
I've Got Confirmation
'cause I'm A Catholic Child
The Blood Ran Red
The Blood Ran Wild!
Now I'm A Catholic Man
I Put My Tongue To The Rail Whenever I Can.
