Holy

Holy

Chorus
Who’s to say who’s to say what’s holy
Who’s to say who’s to say what’s holy
If you know all there is know at 21
Then life is not worth living

I was directed by a living saint
who told me I was a fake
He called Harry a prig
and I surely believed in him
Oh, how can you resist cobblestone streets that wind you down?
In this ancient town we forgot how to think

Chorus

Paint my mother on an envelope
Let her be sent to Mexico
Saturday cartoons with anvils falling
Cigarette smoke darkens the ceiling
Oh, how you can deny when he tells you he will die?
In his broken home we forgot to pay the rent

Chorus

Naïve girls in a protected shell
If only Venus looked so well
Messiahs are queuing up in heaven
Each with a glossy 8x10
Oh, how can you believe in salvation through disease?
In this lonely space we forgot to bring the wood

Chorus

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Angels and devils on the side of the road
Clamoring for clarity
But holiness - is an elusive beast
