holy man

Oh Lord it's hard being a holy man, I said lord it's hard being a holy man Well I listen to the sinners that'll just sin again Rules break easy when they do not bend Lord it's hard being a holy man

Oh lord it's cold, sitting on this mountain top I said lord it's cold, sitting on this mountain top Well I listen to the sinners when they confess but I'm thinking about lunch and I couldn't care less Lord it's hard being a holy man

I come down Saturday morning and spend the night Have a slumber party with my boys I feed them and I bathe them, oh their parents all love me Another Saturday night off, the kids safe in the rectory I love their wide-eyed smiles when they see me I love their little giggles when I help them with their clothes We look at funny pictures and watch movies on TV Our special little secret, our lovely little secret

I can show you how. (ego sum amicus tuus) There's an amber light that shines, in the darkest corners off our minds. (ego sum magister tuus) I can show you how. (ego sum pater tuus) The road that brought us here has passed,(ego sum nexis tuus deo) you'll remember me the rest of your lives

I've got this polaroid so I remember the beauty and the youth that charms my soul Your body is a temple, and I will be the keeper I come to you in pieces, you leave me whole

Goddamn it's hard being a holy man I said lord it's hard being a holy man Good god's given me all that is mine, and I'd surely have more if I had the time Lord it's hard being a holy man. Oh I help so many...what about me?
