Lyrics Smalltown Poets

Smalltown Poets

Prophet, Priest, And King

Put down my thoughts in a letter to the president

Penciled and packaged with all due respect

Elvis commemorative just for effect

Never heard back, you think you know a guy

Wired my congrats to Chuck and Di some time ago

All my love to the queen

My invitation was lost in the mail

But I know I was missed

When they kissed 'neath the veil

I sent a nice gift, never got a note

But my closet's a shrine to and old friend of mine

Here i talk all the time with a prophet priest

I pull out boxes and brooms

And I gush like a groom

For it's here I commune with

A prophet, priest and king

If I indeed am misperceived

By some heads of state, hey, that's great

'Cause I talk to a prophet who tells me the truth

And I dine with a king at my home in Duluth

Better yet I'm in touch with a much needed friend

Who hears my confessions and pardons my sin
