Priest (bonus live version)

Deep in prayer, my cross to wear

I kneel upon the floor

Temptations of a Catholic priest

Aren't easy to ignore

But I cannot control myself

He rips my soul apart

For one small sheep among my flock

Has stolen the shepherd's heart

[Chorus:]

Altar boy, altar boy

Confess your sins to me

You will find the grace of God

Inside my rectory

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 conscience goes awry

I'll give him some communion wine

That's 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, I could

Dress him up like the Pope and then I'd

Oh dear God the shame, no no no

Lead us not into temptation

Deliver us from sin

We could pretend that he was Jesus Christ

And I was Mary Magdalene
