Eraserheads

Butterscotch

You can take me to the prom

Promise not to tell your mom

Mama never tells you why

But she kicks you in the eye

I don't think she understands

I just wanna hold your hand

I don't even hold a car so we couldn't get that far

Father Marcus said to me

Just confess and you'll be free

Sit you down upon my my lap

Tell me your sins just like that

You said baby know the rule

Gotta go to Catholic school

All the teacher says you're fine

When you're down with dirty minds

I am only in my teens

I live only for my dreams

I know I can't make you stay

Life is journey anyway

Teacher, teacher please make me well

I don't want to go to hell

Teacher, teacher what can I do

I don't know boy

It's up to you

Its' time to free your mind

It's time to cleanse your soul

It's time to free your mind

It's time to cleans you're soul

Yo Father! Forgive me for I have sinned

I'd rather talk to God but he's out and you're in

It's a little complicated but Father don't sweat it

You can hear me out and you can just forget it

Now I haven't been to church in about ten years

One time, I have to pull my little sister's ear

But I'm not really violent and it shows

I go flower power as the stupid song goes

Sometimes I tell a lie but

only when its true

I often say the words like Shit and Fuck you

I like to read a lot of dirty comic books and I give my teacher a lot of dirty looks

But this is the last thing

(Tell me Father, Tell me Father)

Before I carry on

I stole a table napkin from a fancy restaurant

(Tell me Father, Tell me Father) [3x]

I am full of guilt and now it's up to you

Hey!

Just say ten Hail Mary's

Twenty-one Glory be's

Thirteen Our Father's

And a hundred Amen

Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen

Amen

Aww!

You can take me to the prom

Promise not to tell your mom

Mama never tells you why

But she kicks you in the eye

I don't think she understands

I just wanna hold your hand

I don't even hold a car so we couldn't get that far

I am only in my teens

I live only for my dreams

I know I can't make you stay

Life is journey anyway

I am only in my teens

I live only for my dreams

I know I can't make you stay

Life is journey anyway

Life is journey anyway

Life is journey anyway hey
